Breaking News: Twitter Down

It’s the morning of Wednesday, January 20, 2010, is Twitter down? The Download Squad blog says “YES” (Is Twitter down? Yes or No. Retrieved from http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/05/19/is-twitter-down-yes-or-no/). Other sources say “No” (Retrieved from http://istwitterdown.com/). Finally, our tiebreaker says ”It’s not just you!” (Is this web site down for everyone or is it just you? Retrieved from http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/Twitter.com).

From our perspective here at KMSToday.com, Twitter does appear to be down. Attempts to logon through the Twitter web interface result in the smiling Twitter Fail Whale (img) (Twitter is over capacity). Attempts to use third-party Twitter social media software like Tweet Adder (TweetAdder) and others result in errors on local computers where the software is installed.

Who knows, maybe Twitter is under attack—DoS again! No, not really, they should be back up by the time this KMSToday News is published.

Joomla! provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface that simplifies the management and publishing of large volumes of content including HTML, documents, and rich media. Joomla! is used by organisations of all sizes for intranets and extranets and is supported by a community of tens of thousands of users.

The Joomla Core Team and Working Group members are volunteer developers, designers, administrators and managers who have worked together to take Joomla! to new heights in its relatively short life. Joomla! has some wonderfully talented people taking Open Source concepts to the forefront of industry standards. Joomla! 1.5 is a major leap forward and represents the most exciting Joomla! release in the history of the project.

The Joomla! team has millions of good reasons to be smiling about the Joomla! 1.5. In its current incarnation, it's had millions of downloads, taking it to an unprecedented level of popularity. The new code base is almost an entire re-factor of the old code base. The user experience is still extremely slick but for developers the API is a dream. A proper framework for real PHP architects seeking the best of the best.

If you're a former Mambo User or a 1.0 series Joomla! User, 1.5 is the future of CMSs for a number of reasons. It's more powerful, more flexible, more secure, and intuitive. Our developers and interface designers have worked countless hours to make this the most exciting release in the content management system sphere.
