When I tried to open Twitter, I encountered the following message saying, “Twitter is over capacity. Too many tweets. Please wait a moment and try again”. I tried to refresh my browser but the same message appears. After a while, I click the home link on the top right and all tweets appeared. However, when I click the Profile. The twitter over capacity message appeared again. I tried to click again the Home link but this time to no avail.
This has been the same problem that Facebook has faced for weeks now. Facebook is experiencing a performance issue. Loading Facebook applications, especially its game applications such as FarmVille (75,778,293 monthly active users) and Cafe World (30,353,980 monthly active users), has been very slow and usually gives a synchronization error.
This problems is a proof that those behind Facebook and Twitter did not anticipate their applications to be this huge. Too many players of Facebook game applications is eating up a lot of its server capacity. Twitter on the other hand may be affected by spammers and overloads its server which cause the problem.

It's amazing that 75 million people use Farmville every month. There must be some subliminal mind control message in that game…lol.
