I think I've figured out the solution to Twitter's scaling problem.
For the remainder of this week, please refrain from posting tweets on any of the following topics:
5. The Apple (NASD:AAPL) WWDC and the iPhone 3g
4. Lehman and it's (in)solvency
3. Yahoo (NASD:YHOO), Jerry Yang, Carl Icahn and Microsoft (NASD:MSFT)
2. Whether the crash at Amazon (NASD:AMZN) cost them $1 million, $2 million or a fraction thereof since most users came back an hour or two later and made their purchase
and, the number one topic to avoid in order to keep Twitter from crashing:
1. Whether Twitter is up or down
If any time you feel like posting a tweet on one of these subjects you instead take a 2 minute coffee break, Biz and the Twitter team should be able to keep servers humming along. And you'll probably feel better about yourself.
