- I agree, Daniel. I think Nick's model makes a lot of sense, and for the most part it seems to be paying off -- and not just for him, but for lots of his bloggers as well.

- I stupidly didn't even check to see if you had written anything on it, Felix -- I should have known that you would have. And an excellent analysis of the situation it is. As you note, some of the ...

Fun. Thanks.

Despite the high profile event, twitter guys were not ready... Maybe twitter is technically limited (rails anyone?), I think they own their community an explanation.

hey mathew - maybe someone turned off twitter with a remote control?

Heh. Gizmodo actually wrote that into a post when Jobs' Flickr stream
didn't work -- said it wasn't them :-) -

Internet worked great for me. Oh yeah, guess the blogosphere didn't realize that the vapid circle jerk known as twitter isn't actually the internet...

Thanks, Stu. Missed you lately :-)

I was only at MacrumorsLive, they were awesome throughout the entire thing. Its quite stunning to read the system behind it (they've posted it somewhere). I'm sure it'll easily touch 220k plus just on MCLive's site.

Updates from macrumors via the "old school" internet technology IRC worked without a flaw. And fast.

but this is the future... more cool apps racing with bandwidth and server capacity and that is why the economist predicted that the web would slow down in 2008
get used to it -
If by "cool", you mean "badly written"... yeah. Twitter is not great tech, unfortunately, and it simply won't scale much further - which is one of the reasons that Google didn't buy it.
-
@ian Maybe, but remember that the Twitter team is almost all ex-Googlers already. It don't think it would make sense to acquire them again.

TUAW was barely able to handle the load, although I was able to see more updates from them then I was GeekbriefTV.
Funny You never hear about people lining up the night before at a Microsoft convention. . . . .
Good for you Steve I hope you break the internet next year too. . . . . -
I'd actually got live updates directly via MacRumorsLive without a hitch, photos and all.

Yeah, I was posting up live blogging sources for the keynote yesterday for Visual Editors when I saw all these live blogging attempts fail.
Matthew, I have more examples in the post. Macrumors has always been the best. For the past few years they have beaten everyone hands down with text and photos.
The qik.com live video crowd with their N95 camera phones were crunched down too as qik servers failed, often.
Twitter was worthless - again.
I did get to hear about the last 30 minutes of live audio from iJustine's qik feed. but her video bandwidth was wasted as she must have had the n95 on her lap and pointed to the roof. for fear, no doubt, of being detected. Wonder if they will ban n95s in future. Hmm.
More at http://www.visualeditors.com including the video that shows the Steve Jobs keynote in only 60 seconds.
Wired had the best write-up blow by blow. -
Thanks, Robb.
