If Twitter Can’t Handle the Heat, Why Don’t They Spread the Load?

Fine,I’m a broken record . But, still Twitter is becoming as essential as email to not only communicate with each other, but spread news. Important news. So why can’t they just fine a way to decentralize themselves?

Twitter’s a product that the media industry respects, and in many cases idolizes, but the recent high-profile infrastructure problems in conjunction with something as newsworthy as the World Cup soccer extravaganza could mean that publishers may stall to integrate @Anywhere into their sites as soon as Twitter wants them to. This, in turn, could spell bad news for Twitter if a different product swoops in and intercepts the real-time news thunder.
