One Tuesday last spring, Twitter users logged into their accounts to discover all their followers were gone. So were the people they were following. Instead of being part of one big Twitter party, everyone was alone in the virtual Twitterverse. What happened? Twitter’s server crashed and deleted everyone’s followers.
