Twitter is over capacity.
Twitter is over capacity.
Too many tweets! Please wait a moment and try again.
The above is the message I get for the last 5 days when trying to upload a profile photo. I try to access it around 11 AM IST (+5:30 GMT). Looks like the servers are very loaded even during asian time zones. Well the photo was just 25 KB and a .gif file.
After 5 days, I hit up on this post http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/topics/unable_to_upload_new_profile_picture_over_capacity ; and tried uploading a .png instead. It worked !
Hmmm. what ever be the reasons, it worked.
I think .png is not a popular type of image being uploded by users and twitter may be segmenting load based on type of image used. That means, lesser load on their servers handling .png files ? Maybe .. maybe not.
