Apparently the new Tweet button, which I ALMOST loaded on this blog, had a flaw, especially for Firefox users like me.
I'm glad I didn't connect it.
New Tweet Button Temporarily Hoses the Internet |
Apologies if our homepage looked like the above momentarily, but it wasn’t our fault, we swear! The new official “tweet button,” which was rolled out yesterday, had a malfunction that rendered an error message in Firefox ( ) and essentially rendered Web browsers useless. |
Lots of other people noticed too, including popular blog host Squarespace ( ) and tech news site Ars Technica. While not a long lasting problem, you can imagine the scale of it being pretty enormous, considering Tweetmeme () reported yesterday that its button (now the official tweet button) is viewed 750 million times daily. |
| Twitter ()’s acknowledged a “momentary problem” and says the issue should now be fixed. Whew. If you’re still seeing the errors here or elsewhere, be sure to clear your cache. |
