Twitter hijacked. Is it Chi.mp, or something worse?

File under Software & Media. Popularity: unranked

Not really sure the scoop, but with Twitter closed, I had a minute to at least spout off half cocked about what’s going on.

Within a half hour of setting up my new Chi.mp account, Twitter failed- and the Fail Whale was no where to be found. Instead, when logging into the Twitter website, I was greeted with this:

Production-Staging Access – Employees Only?” What’s this? Not something that I would expect to replace the cute whale.

When I (of course) failed this request, I was greeted with a 401 error.

Now, I’m not one for “research” or “patience” so I’ll just spout off half cocked and say the first thing that pops into my head.

Did Chi.mp hijack Twitter?!! Is it a coincidence that this happened just as chi.mp came up?

Or, something even more nefarious, perhaps??

Maybe THIS is what John McCain postponed his campaigning for! He’s not deathly ill at all! He’s cracking into Twitter to ruin all of our “screwing off” time! This is his big plan for fixing the economy!

John McCain wants us all to ACTUALLY WORK!

AAAHHHHHHH!
