Twitter Leads Social Site Downtime May 9, 2008
Popular microblogging service Twitter (twitter.com) has been determined as the "worst performing" social media website.


According to a recent report posted to website and server uptime monitoring service Pingdom's (pingdom.com) Twitter has been offline for more than 37 hours since January, twice as long as the outage total for the next worst performing website, Reunion.com. Pingdom says Twitter was the only service with uptime below 99 percent.

At the other end of the spectrum, popular social networking site MySpace (myspace.com) had the best overall uptime at 99.96 percent with blogging network Xanga showing the next best uptime at 99.95 percent.

Popular social networking site Facebook (facebook.com) was sixth on the list at 99.91 percent uptime and had around two and a half hours of downtime over the four-month tracking period.

Data Center Knowledge suggests the strong performance of services like MySpace and Facebook is likely due to the fact that they have more budget to invest in "industrial-strength Internet infrastructure."
