Cloud computing is a way for businesses to access extra computational resources over the internet. Without it, the internet as we know it would malfunction.

With the Twitter limits today, I think we are already seeing the fallout begin.

It took me 3 minutes of slow loading to get this and this.

It's been over half an hour now and I still have a blank twitter page, what if today is the day twitter actually goes down.

Edit: actually maybe not, this may be what happened and that despite earlier reports the new CEO was resolving it. Proper payment may not have actually happened…

This is old news and it’s already been resolved. It was a negotiating tactic. Not uncommon and the news cycle just ate it up even though it’s mostly a non-issue.

Though I still think Elon is running Twitter into the ground..
