No, this isn't those Twitter-fueled Iran protests, which the State Department famously asked Twitter to delay site maintenance to support.

The good news: BOSTON TWEET is back online. The Onion-style shocker: a Twitterer actually used a telephone to contact a friend . . . to wait out the Twitter outage at JP Licks.

This is what the interwebs were built for -- instead of watching ESPN, we got our Super Bowl color commentary from MC Hammer, who was Twittering live from Tampa. Presumably he was on the premises because of his ridonculous Super Bowl ad with Ed McMahon: if you missed it, check out his gold medallion of himself wearing a gold medallion

Twitter has officially arrived. The mobile-phone-friendly, 140-characters-or-less, messaging/social-networking application today claimed its first political casualty, as a low-level McCain staffer was handed an "indefinite suspension" after sending a quick Tweet link to an attack video of Barack Obama speeches mashed up with his Reverend's sermons
