What do you do when twitter decides to go into fail whale mode? Maybe try some of these:

1. Stare at the computer screen for signs of life
2. Try Twitter every two minutes to see if it’s better
3. Try Facebook in desperation
4. Check out Friendfeed to see who is complaining about Twitter
5. Stare at the screen some more
6. Start watching a TV show instead of just listening to it in the
background
7. Think about cleaning… something. Anything
8. Try to remember the last day you couldn’t use Twitter. In fact,
try to remember your life before Twitter
9. Have a face to face conversation
10. Go back to the Twitter screen in desperation and mumble “Please
God…” quietly to yourself.
