Twitter and Amazon
Profile pictures were offline for 2-3 minutes very early in the morning US time. The outage was related to a service interruption at Amazon Web Services which Twitter uses to host profile images.
Amazon has a goal of 99.9% uptime with this service. This translates to 45 minutes per month of expected downtime. Achieving 99.9% uptime is a significant challenge—but worth striving towards!

2-3 "minutes"? Felt like hours to me...
I would agree..That was a little longer than 2-3 minutes.
we don't really go for Amazon at solarskate. Our whole goal is to free up the web. I don't think Amazon likes the web being free or fully funcional.
Where Twitter stores the texts of posts??? It uses a database or S3?
I'm curious, :)
