@scafaria ok, here's an even funnier version of the Twitter self-DDOS.

This is a video of my video of Twitter self-DDOSing itself played from a Tweet while the bug is still active and the page itself continues to flood Twitter with requests.

Now notice the trending topics in the sidebar: #TwitterDown, WTF Twitter, Rate Limit Exceeded, Damn Twitter

This might be the most perfect screen video ever recorded. 😆

@jake4480 that's what I said, but with a lot of incredulous f-bombs in for emphasis.

I've been laughing about this all morning. The next time I'm having a bad day as a programmer, I'll think of the inglorious soul who DDOSed Twitter FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.

@davidgerard

it's also entirely possible that someone decided they had enough, pushed to production, and walked out of Twitter HQ in a blaze of glory.
