Interview with Biz Stone experts:

"Has Twitter become more stable following the issues earlier in the month? What has the Twitter team learned from the experience?

Biz Stone: “We’ve worked to isolate various parts of our system to prevent one outage from taking out the entire network. Investigation into the causes of previous bouts of instability have taught us a great deal about our usage patterns and shown us a clearer path towards being prepared for future waves of growth and usage”.

In what way has Twitter’s reliability improved?

Biz Stone: “Our recent efforts towards scalability allow us to stay on our current growth curve, and even increase the rate as we add new ways to send and receive updates such as our recent Facebook application”.

What next in terms of scalability?

Biz Stone: “We’ll continue to isolate different aspects of the system and perform micro-optimizations of heavy-usage areas. We’re currently implementing additional internal tools which will enable us to do more meaningful research of usage patterns. Finally, we are adding more machines”."

Here is a great podcast by Tom Ashbrook , posted at On Point .  It is called The World According to Twitter .  Description from their webiste:

"Once there was slow talk and silence. Then came letters - delivered by horse or sailing ship, months in coming, deep in thought. Then came the telegraph, telephone, cell-phone, e-mail, Palm Pilot, Blackberry, texting, instant messaging, and now -- Twitter.

Non-stop, instant communication from anywhere, all the time. Hyper-connectivity, always present, in a non-stop global mind-share of twittering micro-thoughts. "Hungry!" "Love duck." "Doing dishes." "Off to bed."

We're pushing deeper into the seamless cyber-mind. Are we happy now?

This hour On Point: Twitter, and the hyper-connected culture.

One complaint.  Only available for windows and Real player.  :(  Who the heck even uses real player anymore.  Why make Mac users jump through hoops to listen to a podcast.  What is wrong with good old mp3 or quicktime so everyone can listen?
