Default Massive Twitter outage- work productivity soars

Twitter is defending against a massive denial-of-service attack, per their status page.

Wonder if it's originating in Iran.

LOL

Managers everywhere rejoice.

Everyone tried and tried facebook and twitter clogging the network, then gave up and went to work.
