CNN | For the second consecutive week, Twitter is having trouble. Last week, the website’s service was spotty — with many users complaining that they couldn’t send or receive messages at times. And this week, Twitter says on its Status Blog that some users’ posts were accidentally deleted from the site, but then were restored on Tuesday by about 6:10 a.m. CST.
These website woes stem, in part, from Twitter’s network being “over capacity,” Jean-Paul Cozzatti, a Twitter engineer, wrote on Friday.
Such service outages were common in 2009, as Twitter experienced rapid growth. They have been less-so this year, he writes, “but as this week’s issues show, there is always room for improvement: we must apply the same diligence & care in the design, planning, and monitoring of our internal network.”
