Twitter Blackout–Why didn’t Google tell me?

26 Jul

Twitter just had a massive blackout. However, why is it when internet sites have glitches, I assume that I or my machine is the one at fault? Does everyone feel that way? I mean…even Google didn’t have anything about it when I searched during the blackout, which automatically made me assume: “there’s something wrong with me, because after all…Google isn’t mentioning the blackout”. After all, Google is my god.

Also, like Joanna Stern, ABC News corespondent’s tweet mentioned (not verbatim): “How am I supposed to tweet this Twitter is down article, when Twitter is actually down?” I’ve come to realize that I get all of my up to the minute news from Twitter, so what is a girl to do when Twitter is down? This is what I did.

I mean what is going to happen if Twitter is down when Michael Phelps breaks the record at the London 2012 Olympics for the most medals won EVER in the HISTORY of TIME, and I am not near a TV to watch it? This is what I will do. I, as well as many people I know, rely on Twitter for this breaking news. All I can say is: Twitter you better get yo Sh*t together before them Olympics start…or you’re going to have a massive Twittocalypse on your hands…and I will be leading it. I will let my fellow WordPresser lead the non-violence movement.
