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…

Original post:

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..
