Downtime

Good Morning!

First off i just want ya'll to peep my consistency lol Today I think I wanna discuss how twitter was down yesterday and everyone lost their minds (including myself) lol who knew something as simple and minute as a one sentence update to let the world know something they probably dont even care about could cause such an "uproar in the community" :-/ I mean this was major. CNN and Channel 2 action news both ran stories on it. Yes, twitter was hacked, but that wasnt the main focus of their reports, it was more about how people were going to "deal" without being able to update.
I was one of those late tweeters. I thought it was stupid and everyone i knew was on the site before me. Once i began feeling left out when i would be chillin with friends and they would be updating right next to each other and i had no clue what was going on, I broke down and let someone set me up an account. Still then, it took a while for me to really get in the habit of consitently updating my status. But OMG once i got in the habit, i could not stop!! I mean I seriously had to be on twitter at all times, making sure i didnt miss when my homies got off work or went to sleep or washed their hair. And i also had to make sure the world knew when i was sleepy at work, or hungry, or watching a really funny show. "LOL guys, you should watch this!" :-/
Soooooooooo when the site went down, how did we cope??? Did we go into shock and wonder what is wrong with our stupid phones? Did you continuously refresh your twitter, then delete the app and re-install it (like i did, sshhhhhh!) Did you Instant Message your friends to see why you couldnt talk to them on twitter, because thats so different than AOL, Yahoo, or just plain ole texting?? OR did you do something productive with yourself?!?! Maybe go to the gym, read a book, call your relatives, or start a blog like I did :-) I went to the gym too, but thats a whole nother story :-/
Dont get me wrong, I loooooove me some twitter. I have yet to understand why, but I am no longer in denial. I logged in from the web this morning because although clearly twitter is up and running, Ubertwitter is NOT! ggrrrrrrrrr! BUT when something like twitter being hacked makes the news and everyone cant wait for it to work again, I wonder how much time and productivity is being wasted sitting around pressing refresh. Im jusayin, multitask ppl! Go on ahead and update, but make sure youre actually updating about doing something productive in life that will benefit you in the long run (and still feel free to update me on the beer pong or WTDT@ "where they do that at" status').
Now that ive done something productive with my day, I dont feel bad about spending the rest of it checking when Ubertwitter will be back up again ;-)

So, what did YOU do while twitter was down?
