Twitter hat Angst vor der WWDC

Na dann sind wir mal gespannt, wie lange Twitter heite Abend durchhält:

Operation: Gray Mode
In the event that our estimates and preparations fail, we have designed a way to keep Twitter updates moving quickly through the system to their respective recipients. We have isolated and created on/off switches for many Twitter features. Should it become necessary to shed incoming load quickly, we can turn off features such as stats, pagination, and several others to preserve the reliability and timeliness of your Twitter timeline.
