    Thanks for posting this. I forgot to check TechCrunch for the latest news regarding this fact.

    That has really been an annoying thing lately. It seems every time I go to Twitter its over capacity. Thank you for clearing this up.

    No problem, and certainly is truly annoying because if you go there via web you can see the overcapacity message coming up, but if you try a stand-alone client it returns errors with no further detail.

    Yes, now it is. You know 80% tweets happens outside twitter. That is why all these API's are given a blow. Hope twitter made a right choice.

    Seems a little weird direct traffic would be getting killed off, while 3rd party software works fine. That's something that they were bound to fix in short order.

    That being said, it is not only annoying, but seems to follow pretty closely to a regular time schedule. Mornings are really, really heavy. Afternoons less so and evenings you can get on without difficulty.

    Twitter gets an absolute hammering. I can tell from all the tweets that come through my account. I know the gurus say that Twitter is great for marketing but I was wondering if anyone actually reads many of the tweets. Anyway, here's hoping we see less and less of the whale and more of the bird.
