Of All The Times For Twitter To Go Down ?

Twitter just announced Dick Costolo as its�new CEO,��an announcement which was marked �ironically by a total Twitter crash and a proliferation of fail whales. So what to do instead of tweeting about the company's new hire? Well TweetAlternative seems to be broken as well but Status.net, a twitter clone that you can run yourself and therefore not rely on a central point of failure, is up and ready for your updates.

Those interested in moving past the fail whale can sign up for a free hosted account on the Status.net servers, or just be patient.
