I saw this notice on my Twitter home page last night.

Twitter Downtime

I can understand how Twitter must be dealing with their ever growing pool of users. It can be extremely challenging to manage infrastructure to support to such a huge capacity.

Going back to the important point; In such situations when active Twitter users who update their status often , what happens to their status when Twitter is going thru downtime?. Not sure how Twitter users handled it so far, but now they have MessageDance. You can send messages to your Twitter without having to worry about their downtime and MessageDance will deliver it to Twitter when it is backup.

It is very simple, log in, Go to social profile tab and setup your Twitter profile and thats it. Now you can send messages(either by sending email directly from your mail client or within MessageDance) and your messages will reach Twitter (depending on which option you selected in social profile). Detail of configuration is documented here

Now you can send hassel free messages to MessageDance , which will reach your Twitter instantly if it is up or whenever it comes back up. As an added bonus your messages goes to Facebook, MySpace, Xanga, LiVEJOURNAL , Blogger, Wordpress , your personal blog if you have confirgured them accordingly.
