I run small sites but always build to scale. There is no excuse for not building to scale.
worse than Mr.BabyMan
somewhere i mean
laughs a lot too
yeah cone
a crazy tech guy
twitter needs to do a live stream someone and show the users of it there really care about the user base IMHO
I learned something - Robert may be bi-polar. Where was the fire & brimstone from earlier?
he's just a tech guy
twittercritter reply by saying @username
@twittercritter all you do is @theirname and they'll receive it in responses
Learned that Scoble can be very rude. Did't realize he was that way that much
*\o/* Twitter Twitter..gooooo Twitter! *\o/*
= ff
friendfeed
Very disappointing.
:P
What's "FF"???
could tell the twitter guys were nervous - we've all taken some shit when delivering projects.... theirs is just the most real-time!
and then sunday
can someone tell my how to reply to people i follow?
lol
i wonder if they all got asked to come in tomorrow
twitterers shrieking at them lately
@bwana - we learned that FF is the future ;p
i think they those guys were stressed out
i would like to know if there is a timeframe for future dev addons and bug fixes or are they all just fixing the crap as it hits the fan?
My thoughts exactly Bwana
@crystalclear it is in very poor taste
haha
anyone else learn absolutely nothing new?
That was very bad form to wear a FF Tshirt to this. Very very disappointed in Scoble
fireman - no
thats the question that should have been answered fireman
cool
@fire: not by those guys
nope
bye
see you on FriendFeed
will twitter ever be fixed right?
very weird interview
Friday slowness 26 minutes ago
addicts going nuts
Gillmor was right today. All the heroine has been removed from the streets
nice!
toot!
let them go, they want to leave :)
it might be b/c you don't want to
thanks fellows good info
if you already know about it and you haven't signed up
no!!!!!!
oh snap @keith!
I gotta get you an Eat Sleep Tweet shirt.
it's getting rather annoying
not many 'experts' in that twitter office!
thanks for inviting us :p
thanks
will lighten the load on twitter by advertising for ff!
Ha!
back to work guys
nice
what's this guy's twitter handle?
thanks guys
i wish he would quit with the friendfeed promotion
thanks guys we <3 you
bye guys
scoble laugh +4
Yeah! Thanks for asking the spam question Robert
now go fix twitter!
help twitter; buy ff shirts!
Thanks guys & Robert
scoble is a tw@
After spending 11 years in IT support, I'd rather have an expert of load balancing take care of it
love the shirt!
many Thanks!
hehe
haha!
roflmao
thanks twitter folks!
LOL
timeframe!?!?
bye @Ev and @Biz
i almost never look at the public timeline
Thanks Robert!
akamai? R U serious?
arrrrgg!!
howard lol
just until everything gets worked out
automated dispable
thanks Robert
What do they think of Jaiku? Does it worry them?
@boondox i think that's a good idea
bravo
some people don't reply some do. if they aren't following you back they have the option to see all @'s or just people they follow
Twitter is down!
what a waste of money Akamai would be , for this problem
bravo mr scoble
ads, anyone?
Pete, I think we need to outsource you to akamai
The process of doing a spam report is clunky. Will they add a REport Spam button on the profile page?
maybe thats why scoble is here; to prove that he didn't take down twitter cause hes in this meeting!
Yes Howardgr
drop the public timeline for now
back to work for me
waaaaaaay more laid back than I would be if it was my "side project" (:
jsotuyod: we've told him 100 times, he's not listening
hey did anyone suggest akamai
go back to work....
PETE
Yeah not you Scoble!
Pete
AKAMAI!
:)
haha twitter is down, that's why they've been called away!!
akamai is NOT the sollution, they have architecture problems, not infraestructure.
How come people don't see my REPLY's?
You go to war with the army you have. :-)
scoble laugh +3
nic
they all suck
when are the ads coming to US?
and pirates
because Akamai charges an arm and a leg...
finally he asks the question about spammers
and ninjas
they act like they don't want to be interviewed.
bah! its friday! bring the whole dev crew in!
and you being able to choose your top 100 for example
spammers!
no they dont
so this is still the prototype then?
If you try to anticipate all probs first, you wouldn't build anything.
Howardgr spammers are hurting Twitter's performance,, so it IS a problem. Plus it generates New Follower emails which is clearly SPAM
never officially launched twitter
i like the idea of having a follow limit per day
or reply to them?
do they have to approve you to follow them?
HA!
@jack
what's up with you people
akamai
twittercritter i reply to a lot of people
when are the Ads coming?
WHY NOT OUTSOURCE TO AKAMAI FOR LOAD BALANCING?
well its a horse pill they have to swallow
If scoble said spam you think they'd knock the phone out of his hand
can someone harpoon that darn whale
you peeps obviously don't follow scoble on ff and twitter :P
there is no spam on twitter. unfollow spam. end of story
Twitter isn't down....
can you normally REPLY to people you follow?
I don't think Twitter likes to talk about spam. Hurts their image.
can't reply cause they took some stuff off line to help lighten the load
Definition of Irony - Twitter is down and we are talking to the founders of twitter.
haha @Howardgr
I can't reply to people I follow... so isn't that broken IM?
cheers nzben
the old "take over the world' story
if it was, then it would have less downtime
it goes into a db, and then scripts/procedures build your timeline
ah, the old "side project" story
no, its not an im client
bootstrapping - a startup can go anywhere - we all know that - 9/10 fail
Sam ev just explained
isn't twitter just IM without the REPLY?
special server for top 10
ha
have there been any explanations of how twitters achitecture actually works? if i tweet,where does it go?
Spam is never cool
doesnt the api have a limit of x per hour?
akamia isn't a solution
hindsight is 20/20 Jim
Akamai is delivery of large items...this is small stuff with huge banging away at the backend
did someone tell him about this
scoble aren't you F'NG ANGRY about them blaming you!?
where is arrington
Why wasn't any of this thought of before Twitter was rolled out?
I get it, they are going to kidnap scoble and lock him in a faraday cage, twitter will be mega fast tomorrow
No normal person should need to follow a thousand people in one day. They should disllow that unless someone pays them $$$
.
Yeah and now you need to stop the spammers
zzzzz
ideally, you don't want to remove or restrict functionality. The community would have a cow.
god enough with the akamai
seriously, why not run a few servers completely independently
Why not outsource to Akamai?
twitter will be gone in two months anyway
How about a 100 person follow limit a day?
Robert, we've talked at the next web conference, ask them what they think about all mash-ups and Tweetburner. Though it's off subject.
*timeframe
i wonder if they have a timefram for future dev/error fixes?
:D
you guys are awesome
I kid, I joke
give @Scobleizer his own server and we can tweet on another!
no need for limits or caps.
1 shower a week?
why not talk to some engineers too?
There are good scripters and bad scripters. Can they block the bad ones?
what about following their own TOS?
why no just turn it into IM?A
are they talking about tweet per day? do they want to limit that as well? would that help?
tome to go! thank... jonoh
hey kosso
bad the scripters!
hey bwana
yeah
ban the scripters
someone buy them now please
yes and remember how much trouble scrabulous had?
will cutting back on the apps help?
Heh Bwana, I like you
cap followers/friends?
noobs GTFO solution
mrbuelow- I think faster
everyone is an expert
I'm sure there is someone out there who can figure it out
Howardgr: this is the internet, what else did you expect
new users have no friends. How many real friends do any of us have?
my point is not about the mad coin. it's about the choice of how to use the infrastructure
why can't I reply to people's twitter feed?
don't succesfull facebook apps grow this fast
everyone is trying to be a monday morning quarterback about twitter infrastructure
timeframe!!
muhahahahaha
why stop growth? enhance the architecture.
dev bombs...lol
Cloud=http://www.cloudcamp.com/
architecture is
lol scoble
shouldn't the dev's stop using twitter to help lighten the load?! lol
JBro they have $15m. infra is nOT a problem
got to get back to work... see ya scoble and chat room! bye from qik office ;)
why do you need to know about their infrastructure
good call JBro
stop tracking time. all tweets are linear
why is this only focused on code? what about the infrastructure?
darn developers!!!
@Ev rocks
the man month comment is so true
thats the underlying problem
or split who has recently been fllowing you so we can see who we dont want to have seeing our tweet screen
correction, won't solve most architecture issues
blackberry os 4.5 has video rec'inc, i hope qik will work and update for bb peeps
developer caused site to go down. OUCH
Yeah they need to solve the twitter spam issue
Twitter Holiday! let's all tweet about it
please...do NOT throw more people at it, just better people
akamai won't solve architecture issues
honestly we'll all take a twitter holiday if that will help :-)
can we get a category in the followers? New Followers and Current followers? makes it easy to follow.
ask them if we can mark non friends and word scanners bots
architecture is much bigger than bandwidth pete
Can I volunteer cpu cycles?
gonna ask this again: where's the anger from earlier?
Robert please ask about rogue app's that allow people to follow tons of users
Tweetburner is also RoR
someone hasn't read the mythical man month
stop new user sign ups
I agree there should be NO mass follow scri[ts
#1 sign you need to cut back on the whole geek thing - How to know it's time to unplug and go home and have a beer - you're watching this.
scoble, ask them if there is a timeframe for future dev/fixes pls
Why not use Akamai?
Less talking, more twittering :)
amazon?
ask the question about the mass-follow scripts, robert
what cloud
I think my crackberry is the digital crack
"pulling out pieces"...lol
Why not put it in the cloud?
gonna snort me some twitter then tweetees
They look like they are excited by teh challenge
This is a common problem across companies worldwide. Twitter is not alone
Robert ask them why they allow mass-follow scripts that allow someone to follow everyone who is on the public timeline
what about the big users being the problem?!!
Twitter = Digital Crack
wonder though if less candid sine on qik?
@scoble Hey that cup of coffe is as big as his head
Isn't Scoble a stress point? lol
sorry, its scoble no scobel
Pete, I doubt the IBM mantra will work here: "Throw more hardware at it" :)
if its ROR, its easy to restructure
Should we send Brian Cantrill over?
umm.. qik stream that is...
Qik is holding up pretty well so far (knock on wood)
I agree RPhelps but at same time it s foreign language to me!
scobel, ask them if there is a timefram for future dev pls
how does he water mark his stream?
Why not outsource the hosting to a better distributed system like Akamai?
thanks guys.
canha yeah I think qik archives it
canha you should be able to watch this later
What about people with tons of sock puppet twitter acocunts?
canha. it will be avaiule here on qik
woot jimbo!
this type of meeting via qik is great
anyone can tell me if this video will be avaliable later, in video or podcast?
is this why we need grownups
dido on conedudes question
Using 32-bit or 64-bit mysql?
ditto scottoraw
scoble can't deny his love for twitter
is there a timeframe?
memcache d?
How many db servers do you have?
Robert you seemed pretty pissed off earlier - not seeing it in this interview
hello
not mine
who's phone was that buzzing?
might be more efficient, but can ROR do it?!
can I make a request? Segment the new followers from the current followers.. so its easier to add people.
no, it wouldn't
God i need subtitles...
who does know how it works?
jake marsh must die
any comments on Blain Cook's tweets?
Yeah they need to kill jack marsh
can we "tag" spam bots and word spiders and point them out?
Please ask about spammers auto following.
Twammers?
love apis!
I agree marko. Rob ask about the spammers following us and scaning our words
friendfeed has nothing on twitter
Same with RSS to Second Brain
I know dean. just kidding
you need a supported nokia for qik
twitter to friendfeed is pretty fast for sure
"Expensive" = money or system resources?
Jaiku is owned by google
the whale is pooing on us
sign up www.qik.com/sign_up
no more sign ups
"mdoeff: Robert, please ask about spammers who auto-follow thousands using scripts"
when is jaiku going to buy twitter?
I wish I had a qik account
The whale is mocking you.
what mdoeff said.
lol rogue
better now
buffy the stream slayer here
I feel like the whale is laughing at me. LOL
i think we can wait a bit longer for our beloved twitter to get back on track
twitter with out older option is unusable never mind the api stuff
Why not. Gmal still has the beta tag.
when's Twitter going to expand to Europe? you know, offices, multiple languages, etc?
Dude, this chat is acting like twitter. Gotta go. Have a great weekend
do they know exactly what is wrong or is it just scaleability?
if scoble gets his own server I want one too, nobody listens to me anyway
I second that
I will give them credit for great error pages
JonoH
basically a plan?
do they have a timeline for planed fixes?
Look... bugs and all I still love Twitter!
ev + biz == ex-blogger
finger pointing...
what happened to blaine?
Robert, please ask about spammers who auto-follow thousands using scripts
Beta seems to make things better
Thanks for the intros
the whale is my new homepage...lol
they need more dtracing
sup
http://status.twitter.com/
Maybe they should slap "beta" on their site
bet these guys aren't knocking off for the weekend
yeah twitter!
has twitter added a single feature in the past year?
cant they spend some of that vc money on new developers?
consult HP, we do performance tuning ya know :)
if new users keep causing you to hit the wal stop adding them
yeah, look for the big whale
I love it when they call programmers engineers
it's a tumblr log
status.twitter.com
hey I have been bringing on more and more twitter peeps every day. Dont embarass me. LOL
kosso is here for lessons about what not to do ;p
Do they have 2hr tech support. European users seem to incur a serious amount of downtime and servce time
www.status.twitter.com
that's ev williams talking
still they could be doing something besides talking
Is there a Twitter "status" page or site so we wouldn't always have to wonder what's up?
it is
Is that Ev?
those guys don't code
ya right they have a lot of work to do
Hey shouldn't these guys be working?
Ev Williams
are they talking about making twitter more reliable
Hey from Knoxville, TN BTW
i blame Media Defender...lol
Hey, I know that guy!
btw, hi from the qik office
serve the users you have
I bet
who's that guy
do you guys use MySQL federation?
engine yard could help
who is doing architecture now? since blaine left
why don't you guys start from scratch
any plans to add location info to tweets automatically?
What's the business model? How will they make money?!
if they aren't going to use the money how bout they just give it to me?! :P
is the problem related to the rails framework making server partitioning more difficult?
YAY
Just stop taking on new users for a time.
Money solves everything
What about users with excessive multiple accounts?
joyent
Yeah thats a big issue, kill the wtitter spammers
What about going back to Joyent?
Who cares what people think. You all ROCK !
Should be able to afford better stufff with the $15 Mil they scored today.
why don't these guys do this on their own? why do they need robert scoble to broadcast it?
Robert have you guys talked about the mass-follow scripts? How big of an issue are those vs popular users like you?
WHy don't these guys get some bad ass network and systems guys
the twitter is twucked
Glad to see these guys reaching out their users and "super users"
thx for the interview and greetings from germany!
woot

can we "tag" spam bots and word spiders and point them out?
Please ask about spammers auto following.
Twammers?

I agree marko. Rob ask about the spammers following us and scaning our words
friendfeed has nothing on twitter
Same with RSS to Second Brain
I know dean. just kidding

twitter to friendfeed is pretty fast for sure
"Expensive" = money or system resources?
Jaiku is owned by google

"mdoeff: Robert, please ask about spammers who auto-follow thousands using scripts"

I wish I had a qik account
The whale is mocking you.
what mdoeff said.
lol rogue
better now
buffy the stream slayer here
I feel like the whale is laughing at me. LOL
i think we can wait a bit longer for our beloved twitter to get back on track
twitter with out older option is unusable never mind the api stuff
Why not. Gmal still has the beta tag.
when's Twitter going to expand to Europe? you know, offices, multiple languages, etc?
Dude, this chat is acting like twitter. Gotta go. Have a great weekend
do they know exactly what is wrong or is it just scaleability?
if scoble gets his own server I want one too, nobody listens to me anyway
I second that
I will give them credit for great error pages
JonoH
basically a plan?
do they have a timeline for planed fixes?
Look... bugs and all I still love Twitter!
ev + biz == ex-blogger
finger pointing...

Robert, please ask about spammers who auto-follow thousands using scripts
Beta seems to make things better
Thanks for the intros

Maybe they should slap "beta" on their site
bet these guys aren't knocking off for the weekend
lol
yeah twitter!
has twitter added a single feature in the past year?
cant they spend some of that vc money on new developers?
consult HP, we do performance tuning ya know :)
if new users keep causing you to hit the wal stop adding them
yeah, look for the big whale
I love it when they call programmers engineers
it's a tumblr log
status.twitter.com
hey I have been bringing on more and more twitter peeps every day. Dont embarass me. LOL
kosso is here for lessons about what not to do ;p
Do they have 2hr tech support. European users seem to incur a serious amount of downtime and servce time
www.status.twitter.com
that's ev williams talking
still they could be doing something besides talking
Is there a Twitter "status" page or site so we wouldn't always have to wonder what's up?
it is
Is that Ev?
those guys don't code
ya right they have a lot of work to do
Hey shouldn't these guys be working?
Ev Williams

Hey from Knoxville, TN BTW

Hey, I know that guy!
btw, hi from the qik office

I bet
who's that guy
do you guys use MySQL federation?
engine yard could help
who is doing architecture now? since blaine left
why don't you guys start from scratch
any plans to add location info to tweets automatically?
What's the business model? How will they make money?!
if they aren't going to use the money how bout they just give it to me?! :P
is the problem related to the rails framework making server partitioning more difficult?
YAY
Just stop taking on new users for a time.
Money solves everything
What about users with excessive multiple accounts?
lol
joyent
Yeah thats a big issue, kill the wtitter spammers
What about going back to Joyent?
Who cares what people think. You all ROCK !
Should be able to afford better stufff with the $15 Mil they scored today.
why don't these guys do this on their own? why do they need robert scoble to broadcast it?
Robert have you guys talked about the mass-follow scripts? How big of an issue are those vs popular users like you?
WHy don't these guys get some bad ass network and systems guys
the twitter is twucked
Glad to see these guys reaching out their users and "super users"
