Twitter is currently down today, September 15th 2009. This is the error that I’m seeing: “Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

All these tools checking if twitter is up or down are actually fake.

Now it’s up again, I wonder how long they can pull this one on people, before everyone deserts to another platform.

Microsoft has released Bing, an excellent search engine similar to Google’s minus Google’s erratic craziness.

I have searched Bing for a lot of terms and they all returned very relevant results, additionally, Bing is gaining a huge momentum (I hope it will be sustained) and is already stealing traffic from Google and Yahoo. I guess the latter search engines should get their act straight, or they will be binged.

I also thing that Bing is a better and easier name than Yahoo and Google.

Way to go Microsoft, and welcome back!

I’ve been monitoring technorati for the last few months and I’m noticing that its quality is really degrading. Extremely slow, searches are not working, and feeds are not working (they are claiming right now that feeds are working after they moved their severs somewhere else, but they’re not).

Anyway, technorati is nothing more than a feed agregator, its community is shrinking, and I think Google should stop indexing it as it’s essentially indexing another search engine (with the small addition of grouping stuff by tags).

Technorati’s look & feel is also outdated by today’s standards. Can’t wait for a real competition.

I bought Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End today, and I have to say that what I find a bit lame about this movie is the repeating jokes: Rum (why is the Rum Gone), the Guy’s wooden eye, the monkey, the bird, the dog with the keys (which I’m starting to think it’s the director’s and that’s why it keeps on showing up in every single movie with no logical explanation), etc… I hate Bloom and the girl (I didn’t really hate commodore Norrigton yet he was killed mercilessly since his role in the last 2 movies was really useless) in this movie and in the Dead Man’s Chest. Hell the girl sucked even in the Curse of Black Pearl, and why does Calypso speak with a Jamaican accent? And who stabbed whose heart near the end? And why can’t Orlando and that girl stay together (not that I really care, actually I wanted them both to drown with Davy Jones), and why did all those crabs carry the Black Pearl back to the sea?

It’s all a big mystery, but nevertheless, there’s one thing I found in the box of the DVD that might cheer someone, it’s THE DISNEY MAGIC CODE (yoohoo!), and here it is: NRWNGF47CR6C. Kindly comment on this post if you use it as I don’t want to waste someone else’s time.

Keep a weather eye open on this blog for more freebies (yeah right!).
