This is the way it should be. I don't wonder if my cell phone will be down every time I pick up up. Same with email or almost any other communications device. Twitter is young, though.

Its certainly not tested to that capacity, but it's good to see they've been able to handle SXSW and in general have seemed to make things much more stable recently.
