A light-hearted moment amid the seriousness: this video, posted on TechCrunch, is a wonderful parody of Twitter’s reliability problems.
The clip is taken from the movie Downfall – a serious movie on a very serious topic. As the original post says, though, “Just remember, it’s not about Hitler. It’s about Twitter.” Still, turn your speakers off if there are any German-speakers in your office.
As Mathew Ingram noted, Hitler sure made some funny videos. Hilarious.
On a related note, it looks like Twitter may finally be getting over the issues that resulted in videos like this. At time of publishing, the site has enjoyed 99.95% uptime so far in August.

I wish Twitter well, but I have to contest the 99.95% uptime stat. My replies have had about 50% downtime and things still appear to be limping along. I suppose we’ll have to contend with a broken service while they work on their next generation. The video is hilarious though.
The Internet gives rise to some odd memes, that’s for sure! My first encounter with this was this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukAhlxl4hmM Same film, about BMW GS bikes. My boyfriend–BMW GS owner–sent it. This Twitter one really speaks to me though!
