Twitter is in a state of nuclear meltdown.
The prevailing theory seems to be that twitter didn’t pay for some of their server services and thus tried to restrict traffic.
By accident as a result they created a loop of twitter pinging its servers for data that then gets a restricted response, which causes twitter to ping itself again for data.
It does this so much that the servers are starting to scream.

Poor architecture.
Sucks to be him right now though doesn’t it.
