Beaching the Whale

In a post on the Twitter company blog, Matt Graves, director of communications at Twitter, updated Twitter users about what the company is doing to beach the "fail whale."

"As we said last month, we are working on long-term solutions to make Twitter a more reliable and stable platform. It's our number one priority," Graves said in the blog post.

He went on to say that a large part of the company's engineering efforts are focusing on making the social network more reliable. He even says that some employees have been taken off of other projects to work on improving the system.
If you haven't already read J.P. Cozzatti's, a member of the Twitter development, post on what the company is actually doing. Check it out.

Does the Fail Whale really matter?
Obviously, we are all getting annoyed by Twitter's overcapacity messages but does it really matter? Maybe the fail whale is making us think less of Twitter's reliability but would you eventually give up on Twitter if the reliability of the network continues to slope?
