How did you get by without your Tweets?

Freep.com asked its Twitter followers to react to Thursday's glitch:

@_Ambure_: i felt disconnected, i wasn't able to ask questions or reply to my messages. it was noticed & irritating!

@specialk1177: OMG, it drove me crazy! I kept going to post stuff & couldn't, very frustrating!!

@Mattwaite: Before or after the sweats, convulsions and vomiting subsided?

@CrazyMSULady: My daughter had a 5 hour tweetox

@joanginsberg: Hard on me to be w/o Twitter as I am job seeker using Twitter as a networking tool. Felt unproductive.

@cjane87: It was actually really, really rough. I guess I've just gotten so used to being able to contact people through it -- I felt lonely.

@squeaky082: I thought my morning was doomed. No fb, No Twitter. Major withdrawls. All is good now. *sigh*

@McDonaldMgmt: it was kind of funny to see the messages on TweetDeck with things like "don't panic" and similar
