As you can see I've got Several people here who you don't think would reply or even think about doing this.  I have a plan.  I want these people to tell their story about this memo.  I challenge them to actually post their responses on their blog or Podcast.  I want to hear your story about the old days.  I want to find out all about what people think or did to get into the IT profession!! I have this grand Idea to hear from the people and find out their story.  That is why if you do talk about the memo link back to me so I'll know.

If you think you're not a computer geek or a Sysadmin, I know better.  I am sure you have family or friends that you've had to work on their computer for some reason or other.  You have the skills even if you didn't know it.  I want to know how you got into the IT Field.  I want to compile all this information to help people to get into the field and all this information is valuable to people.

I dare you Scoble, Mark, and the Co-founders to be the first to do it.  You know you want to!!!

Twitter is breaking down

Man down!

Around 11 am in San Francisco, our main database db006, crashed because of too many connections. We have to put the service into an unscheduled maintenance mode to recover. Folks will see degraded service for the next few hours.

We'll keep you updated here and in Satisfaction.

So as you can see they are having a lot of problems at twitter. They are talking about the the API Project taking to much bandwidth and to much processing power. It's got to be a combination of the two. They are melting and they can't seem to figure out why. Of course they are say they know why, but if they are having this much problems constantly then why can't they fix it. So I've been playing around with FriendFeed to see if it can compare to Twitter. I would love to hear if people are getting mad at Twitter or if they are use Friendfeed more and more often. I see no reason why people will keep accepting twitter if they don't fix these problems really soon. Just my opinion.
