My name is Jimmy and I am an Apple-holic. Now to start my 12 step program. …..
I will be the first to admit, Apple has me roped into thes damed events they do, especially WWDC and MacWorld. I wonder what the loss value of work that day is around the globe ? I sit trying to refresh my damned screen as the various live blogs go teets up and I break into a cold sweat when I cant get the “One More Thing” right away !!!
With the advent of Twitter we had another avenue to get those little nuggets of news … that is if Twitter is up, whcih as we all know has not been consistently lately. I saw a couple of posts today about Twitters plans to stay alive during the crunch. And BTW, it is not only WWDC this week, O’reilly has Graphing Social Patterns East 08 going on as well in DC and I am sure a few tweets will be flying from there.
But in the case that Twitter also goes colonel sanders teets up on us this week, what are we to do? We need some sort of “In Case Twitter Is Down, Break The Glass” and go to this service … I am not sure what “this service” would be. It could be the new kid on the block, Plurk, but they seem to be having some scaling issues as well. Or maybe the old school Pownce … either way break glass, press button and have Twitter forward to that other “this service” …
As a side note, I am getting one of those little square “super bowl” type office pool sheest ready for everyone to take their bid on an time we see the Twitter lights go out … anyone interested. Gentlemen’s bet of course, you all know gambling is illegal
