Twitter Down Just As President Clinton Takes Stage at Cannes Lions

Oh the horror! Just as former President Clinton is about to set foot on stage at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, Twitter goes dark! Will he actually appear? Will he speak? Will he trip like President Ford? Will he share brilliance? The world may never know until Twitter comes back online.

Just another example of what happens when we put so much trust in a single infrastructure. Hmm, now will all have to resort to reading about Clinton’s speech on crusty old blogs. How mid-2000’s! In the meantime, RSS anyone?
