  "You seem an ill-tempered and irascible enough child," said the Green Wind. "How would you like to come away with me and ride upon the Leopard of Little Breezes, and be delivered to the great sea which borders Fairyland? I am afraid I cannot go in, as Harsh Airs are not allowed, but I should be happy to deposit you upon the Perverse and Perilous Sea."

Twitpocalypse Was a Semi-Hoax Viral Marketing Thing.

So Twitpocalypse has passed and nothing bad happened. No fail whale, dead birds, or broken clients. Now it appears that it was all a viral marketing ploy.

Martin Dufort, CEO of Canadian application developer Wherecloud, says he put up the fear-mongering Twitpocalypse.com page as “a viral marketing move.” The page tongue-in-cheekily predicts that when the absolute number of Tweets hits 2,147,483,647 (the highest number a 32-bit signed integer variable can store), Twitter applications using the faulty variable type will be “very likely to malfunction or crash.”

Certainly, this is what the robotic soldiers of the future will be outfitted with.
