Twitter Down for Database Maintenance

Lately Twitter has actually been reasonably reliable, at least compared to it’s previous daily (hourly?) issues. But can this really be right? I pulled up the page at 10:22 am CT and apparently they are down for database maintenance? First off, you should be able to do maintenance without going down. Secondly, why on earth would you do this during the day when you are swamped with traffic?

I’ve noticed (and have been irked by) the same thing.

Although on the plus side, their graphics are pretty snazzy. Are they done by the same peeps that do Caribou’s ads (their old ones)?
