Twitter Error : gateway timeout - HTTP 503 response
Anyone else tired of this Twitter Error? Is this a Twitter API issue or a Twitterific issue? Regardless, I’m just wishing that the insanity with uptime would stop.
“There was a “gateway timeout - HTTP 503 response” error while communicating with Twitter. This is a problem with their server, so contact Twitter at http://twitter.com/help if the [...]
The Power of Community
I’m amazed at Twitter. In fact Twitter may be the biggest case study in the strength of a digital community.
Despite its regular outages that would have crushed any other Web business (1.0 or 2.0), I come back and everyone else I know is still is there too. We complain. We get frustrated. But we still [...]
Twitter vs. Blogging
I’ve been sucked into the black hole of Twitter. Because Twitter is so convenient and easy to communicate on, I’ve slacked here. I’ll be back to blogging.
Twitter is still interesting to me, but there is so much self promotion and people trying to figure out how to use the medium that it’s getting tiring. I [...]

It so rarely happens, but one of the stories I posted to PodTech.net is the feature story. Wendy Piersall is the creator of the leading home-based business blog, eMoms at Home.
$240M for Less Than Two Percent of Facebook
A billion news and blog posts about the announcement that Microsoft shelled out $240 million for a 1.6% stake in Facebook Inc. If you want details, you’ll easily find it. I scoffed in the past about the longevity of Facebook and it’s “$Billion” valuation when Yahoo was rumored to be after Facebook….
