Twitter Lists: Where Are They?


developing

fail-whaleHave Twitter lists been deleted? Compulsive Twitterers may notice that lists, which were just rolled out last month, mysteriously disappeared from twitter.com’s interface earlier today.

Twitter lists got mixed reviews when they were unveiled. Did Twitter gave them the axe after such a short time? It doesn’t sound like it:

According to Twitter’s status page, the service has been experiencing a “very high rate of errors” (Mashable reports that “thousands of users” saw Fail Whales this afternoon), and that they are “working on the underlying problem:”

Update (1:30p): We are now recovering from this unexpected downtime. The Lists feature is temporarily unavailable as we diagnose the cause of the outage.”

Whew! A world without Twitter lists would have been frightening and unfathomable. We hope to see them make their return soon.

Creepy George W. Bush Billboard Asks Minnesotans: “Miss Me Yet?”

Minnesota got a special treat recently when a billboard depicting a jolly-looking former Pres. George W. Bush appeared over Interstate 35 asking, "Miss me yet?"

Jenny Sanford is All Things to All Pundits

The story of embattled political soon-to-be ex-wife Jenny Sanford is one of the rarest incidents in American politics: a story that both sides can spin to fit their narrative. Sanford went on a media tour to promote her new book, Staying True, that hit all three major cable news channels and the unofficial fourth power in journalism, The Daily Show. And despite the vast ideological gaps among the mediums, every interviewer wanted her on their team.
