If you’re reading this story shortly before the launch of Apple’s (AAPL) tablet, there’s a very good chance you’re on Twitter as well. Can the service, which continues to be balky under normal conditions, hold up under a deluge of chatter?
I’ll be surprised if it does. My Twitter stream has already gotten suspiciously slow in the last few minutes, though I am still getting new updates (via both the Twitter page and my TweetDeck client) every few minutes from the 470 people I follow. So we’ll see.
Twitter’s status page, meanwhile, gives us no indication that anything’s amiss.
UPDATE: Twitter now acknowledges that it had some “Tweet delivery delays” this morning.
