This morning as usual I set about my normal routine of firing up my Tweetdeck and then nothing! Next I went to Twitter.com and this would not load either, the Geek in me then gave Twitter.com a quick ping through the cmd prompt and again nothing. Finally, I went straight to News.com to see if they knew anything and I found this article: Twitter hacked by ‘Iranian Cyber Army’?

Normally when a strange event such as site been hacked, Tigger woods crashing, or a natural disaster, thefirst point of contact is Twitter as this will tell you what is happened, where it has happened and how it was caused? This has highlighted my dependency on using Twitter.

No doubt time will tell how his story has unfolded, but what I am most interested in how Twitter will handle their online Reputation?

Will it make them stronger, or will it drive Twitter users to other alternatives?
