LinkedIn, Technorati, FireFox 3 and Slideshare: we all fall down

To Zoli Erdos' tongue in cheek crack at LinkedIn, Technorati and FireFox failures I can confidently add Slideshare. Although it doesn't make the cut for speed of failure following funding, ($3 million raised in May), it is behaving very badly today.

To Zoli Erdos' tongue in cheek crack at LinkedIn, Technorati and FireFox failures I can confidently add Slideshare. Although it doesn't make the cut for speed of failure following funding, ($3 million raised in May), it is behaving very badly today.

I have a penchant for crashing applications but on this occasion I checked with my Twitter friends and sure enough, Slideshare is failing to load or is, at best, s-l-o-w.

On the other hand, I am pleased to report that Twitter is behaving rather well. For a change. :) That will please my friend David Terrar who just Tweeted to say he visited a prospect that has a couple of restaurants. They use Twitter for staff communications. Brave edglings.
