Twitter Cat Performing Site Maintenance

Posted on March 21, 2007

A cat is busy improving the Twitter.com microblogging and communications service. Twitter was running fairly smoothly before the interruption for maintenance.

The cat looks like he knows what he is doing. The maintenance is needed because of Twitter's rising traffic and increased usage. An Information Week article from earlier today said there are 60,000 users on Twitter. The article also cited a Hitwise article from earlier this week that showed Twitter traffic climbing 55% from the week ending 3/10/07 to the week ending 3/17/07.
