..maintain a Twitter account

**Turnip** · April 30th, 2008, 1:56 PM

Earlier this morning, my server was unreachable. In fact, all of Surpass was unreachable.

A traceroute showed the hang up as being just downstream of:

Code:

 HOSTDIME.car2.Orlando1.Level3.net

I recognize that as being somewhere in Surpassville, but I wasn't able to reach the forums, my site, Kayla's personal site, anything on the Surpass end.

Wouldn't it be awesome if there was someone on Twitter that I could have contacted? Honestly, it was the first thing I went to try and do when I couldn't get anyone through the web. I think Kayla was maintaining a Twitter account for a while, but a quick Google suggested (somewhere) that she'd grown bored with it..

I'd love to be able to send something @surpasshosting on Twitter, saying "Hey, something's up!" Or even better, it'd be awesome to get a tweet from @surpasshosting (or whatever) that says "We've got a problem, and will have it resolved in 5 minutes.."

*sigh* Wishy wish...

Twitter is so lame though... I'm waiting for them to close the service and reveal that all the data was sold to marketing firms. Then the rest of the Internet has a big giant LMAO at the same time, which shifts the earths rotation around the sun, causing an ice age.

Agreed -- I really don't like Twitter, but that's just my opinion. I'm all for an off-network status alert thing though...

I see a lot of companies taking the social route. It certainly wasn't common to see that even a couple months ago but now... there seems to be a move where "open" is considered cool.

It certainly is a way to reach new customers as well.

I was invited two weeks ago to attend an Advisory Board Meeting for their Web Design program and many of the people attending who were local company presidents or senior are directors commented that Twitter was the new trend for inside the company. They liked how they were able to twitter from where ever they were, either it be from their phone, website, or Twitter itself. So, I suppose its getting heavily recognized as a valuable tool. =D
