Twitter just announced that CTO Dick Costolo will be replacing Evan Williams as its new CEO, an announcement which was marked ironically and perhaps inauspiciously by a total Twitter crash and a proliferation of fail whales. So what to do instead of tweeting about the company’s new hire?

Well TweetAlternative seems to be

broken as well but Status.net, a twitter clone that you can run yourself and therefore not rely on a central point of failure, is still up and ready for your updates.

Those interested in moving past the fail whale can sign up for a free hosted account on the Status.net servers, or read our post on “Twitter Is Down: 15 Alternative Things To Do” or just be patient.

Update: Twitter is back up! Ladies and gentlemen, resume your tweeting.
