Happy New Year to all our readers from the Mobitechbuzz Team…!!
New Year celebrations bring in all the fervour, but with it the technology overload is also dragged in. People pass on the wishes using the new broadcasting communication network. Almost as expected, Twitter faced similar issues on Saturday the 31st of December at around 8:30 pm IST. Japan had already hit New Year’s Eve at that point, Twitter users flooded the microblog with New Year’s greetings. The meltdown occured as 16,197 tweets per second were being sent in Japan. The ever familiar fail whale took up the screen of Twitter users who wanted to read or post tweets to the site and those tweeters using third party clients like TweetBot could not send tweets or retweet existing tweets.
Twitter couldn't take up the load of the celebrations
Of course, the jokes about Twitter’s meltdown made the rounds on the microblog. According to a tweet that i saw, one user posted, “Twitter’s New Year resolution needs to be I will never go over capacity.” The overload meant no one could post new messages or read existing ones. Instead, frustrated users were greeted with the error message: “Twitter is over capacity.” Outside of Twitter, the people of Tokyo released a helium balloon at the Tokyo Tower, to which they added their hopes and dreams for 2012. A lot of people wished for a better year ahead in light of the earthquake and tsunami that took place in 2011.
