My daily routine is to check my Twitter account on a Friday evening! Sad I know! However, to my dismay and surprise, as I typed in twitter.com, it would appear that twitter is down and is showing a 503 Service Temporarily Down Error. Only a day ago Facebook was down which showed an influx of people turning to Twitter, however does this mean that Twitter users will move over to Facebook?
So why has this happened?
Twitter recently moved from Ruby-on-Rails to a custom Java Server called Blender to improve faster searches, however could this change have had a knock on effect and this is why Twitter has gone down? It could definitely be the case especially as change over can often bring a few hiccups.
