Why website crashes are unavoidable -- at least for now
Permalink   

First it was Twitter, which had "site availability issues" on and off this week. Then, on Thursday night, it was WordPress, the popular blogging platform that supports more than 10 million blogs, all of which went down for several hours because of a coding problem.

Big-name tech blogs such as TechCrunch and GigaOm were yanked offline because of the WordPress glitch. And, for purposes of disclosure, CNN's blogs also were among those that were unavailable for a matter of hours.

Jason Kincaid, a writer at TechCrunch, wrote that he was far from pleased about the service outage. "If you tried to access TechCrunch any time in the last hour or so, you probably noticed that it wasn't working at all," he wrote Thursday. "Instead, you were greeted by the overly cheery notice 'WordPress.com will be back in a minute!' Had we written that message ourselves, there would have been significantly more profanity."
