Today Twitter failed and the guys at Twitter at the time of writing this have no idea why it is down.

So everybody jumped onto FaceBook and guess what? yup Facebook failed to step up to the mark.

These are big social networks and one would think they would be investing the money into stability. Twitter just seems to be prettying itself and well FaceBook no idea on that one.

Twitter Status at time of writing.

Update:

Twitter was down due to a denial of service attack.

But the really sad thing about this is that Sky News had Twitter being down on it’s news ticker as breaking news.

If you are blogging, I have a simple question.

Is your use of Twitter Facebook and other social networks impacting on your blogging?

Have a real think about it and if you decide to answer, answer honestly. You never know you may discover something about yourself.

Do you blog more or do you blog less?

I do tweet, iTweet on Twitter. I know a lot of folks don’t get Twitter. You always get those that think why would I want to let the world know I fed the cat or masturbated nine times today (man I went blind that day LOL), oops.

My point is that if you want to Tweet “I just had a dump” you can, that’s the beauty of Twitter. But you can also use it for many many more things than that. I have just picked out two examples below and how they could utilise Twitter

DJ’s you could tweet a list of your playlist for your upcoming show. You could TwitPic behind the scenes pictures of you doing the show. Tweet links to competitions or accept competition answers from Twitter followers. If you have a mix site you can tweet links to your mix site. You know the possibilities are endless.

Journalists you can tweet links that direct followers straight to your story, yes your story. No wading through a papers website to get to your bit. Just tweet the link direct to your story. Also you can tweet a breaking story from your cell phone direct to your followers and newsroom. As Twitter is worldwide you could get spotted and be asked to write for a huge news organisation, or even be given your own webpage to write there and get paid megabucks. Hey you never know

The only thing that holds back how you use Twitter is your imagination. I would suggest those that have not used it, get off your arse give it a go. Get some followers, say hello to them, tweet some links to your stuff. You will be surprised how quick you get involved, more importantly how involved they get in you.
