Twitter-Probleme: Scoble hat Schuld?
Nachdem Twitter ein wenig dargelegt hat, woher die technischen Probleme der letzten Wochen kommen und auch angesprochen wurde, dass die extremen Heavy-User durchaus für ordentliche Last auf dem System sorgen. Darauf schreibt VentureBeat einen Artikel mit dem Tenor Twitter: Don’t blame Ruby, blame Scoble:
Most users of Twitter will single out one person who this points to: blogger and Fast Company employee Robert Scoble.
Scoble, with his 25,000 followers and 21,000 people he is following is a beast on the service. I would consider myself a fairly heavy user of the service and I’ve sent 3,598 tweets (Twitter messages) — Scoble has sent 12,318. This is clearly putting a strain on the service.
Und weil es eben Robert Scoble ist, antwortet er natürlich auch deutlichst:
This is total bullshit. Why do I have 11,556 subscribers on FriendFeed, I’m FAR FAR FAR FAR more active on FriendFeed, and yet FriendFeed never has gone down on me? Also, Twitter went down at its first SXSW before I had a ton of followers there. Twitter has major problems, they still don’t have a good engineering answer, and so they are blaming their most popular users. Great. We get the message. We’ll go someplace where there’s a good engineering team. You know, the guys who invented Gmail and Google Maps? They are the ones behind FriendFeed. See ya Twitter!
Vorhin kam dann aber die Entwarnung:
Twitter invited me over this afternoon says they didn’t blame me.
Dann sind wir ja alle kollektiv beruhigt. Dennoch wird es Zeit, dass Twitter die Probleme im Backend in den Griff bekommt.
