Twitter is a bad birdie

The little twitter bird is rebellious. I bet a lot of people having the twitter tool installed on their wordpress blog will see this error:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to twitter.com:80 (Connection timed out)

My site was just crawling. I’m talking about thick syrup… Disabling the twitter plugin brought everything back up to speed. Needless to say that this plugin will be disabled until twitter gets his act straight. You can try to follow me when cliccking on the bird to your right. I love their service but the down time is just killing me…

Jaiku anyone?
