The Twitpocalypse may have begun, as datacenter migration reportedly founders
Twitter suffered a panoply of significant glitches on Wednesday, reportedly coinciding with a consolidation of its datacenters and reducing its reliance on Google's cloud.
Some users were unable to post to the service and, when they tried to do so, were told they had exceeded Twitter's daily limit of 4,400 tweets – even if that was not the case. Others reported difficulties sending direct messages or adding new followers. That glitch was fixed after around 90 minutes.The second glitch – an inability to log into the Tweetdeck client Twitter runs and suggests for power tweeters – persisted for a couple more hours.
One feature we know Twitter has just delivered is an increase in the length of tweets – from 280 characters to 4,000.more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more…
