So You Thought Nothing Could Be Worse Than Fail Whale? Now Get Your Followers Back
http://www.profy.com/ 2008/ 07/ 24/ missing-twitter-followers-fail-whale-can-be-wors...
You remember that only a week ago we were all betting if Twitter really recovered and we will see Fail Whale only when it really means maintenance, not some unexpected crash. Twitter users that left to FriendFeed or Identi.ca started to mention that they could still return to Twitter if it really proves to be back to stable again. And to a certain extent our expectations were met - we had API requests lifted to 100 after 20 per hour and we really saw less of that fail whale for a while. So in general the glitches were reduced a lot.
