Notes from a wireframe world

After yesterdays DDOS attack on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LiveJornal. Was it according to CNN’s Elinor Mills, really against a single user of throes services.

Thankfully all that has now passed… or So we thought, this morning twitter is down again, and last night Xbox live was down.

This shows one of the main problems associated with cloud based computing, If I lose twitter or facebook, it’s not a big deal, if however I lose my off site storage or e-mail, then that is a big deal!

Update: Twitter appears back-up but really slow.
