At the height of their notorious downtime woes many people were predicting the end of microblogging site Twitter. Users were understandably frustrated, and early adopters started looking for a replacement. FriendFeed was better. Plurk was better. Identi.ca was better. So said the pundits.

在臭名昭著的宕机灾难的高峰期，许多人都在预测微博网站Twitter的终结。 可以理解，用户感到沮丧，早期采用者开始寻找替代产品。 FriendFeed更好 。 普鲁克更好 。 Identi.ca更好 。 专家们这样说。

But with Twitter appearing to have solved most of their downtime issues, publicly available traffic stats suggest that the site is putting the kibosh on the competition as well.

但是，随着Twitter似乎已经解决了大多数停机问题，公开的访问量统计数据表明该网站也在竞争中脱颖而出。

According to Pingdom, Twitter’s uptime the past couple of months has been stellar. The site went from down 11.5 hours in July to down just 54 minutes last month. And has been down just 9 minutes so far in September. It even survived huge spikes in usage during Sen. Barack Obama’s and Gov. Sarah Palin’s speeches at their respective US political conventions a few weeks ago.

根据Pingdom的说法 ，Twitter在过去几个月的正常运行时间一直很出色。 该网站从7月份的11.5小时减少到上个月的54分钟。 到9月为止，仅下降了9分钟。 几周前，在参议员巴拉克·奥巴马(Barack Obama)和州长莎拉·佩林(Sarah Palin)在各自的美国政治大会上的演讲期间，它的使用甚至还可以承受巨大的使用高峰。

Blogger Louis Gray today compared Twitter to competitors using traffic data from Compete. What he found was that since Twitter has solved their uptime issues, the site has seen a spike in traffic growth. Meanwhile, competing services FriendFeed, Plurk, and Identi.ca have all seen their traffic fall from June or July highs or plateau.

博客作者路易斯·格雷(Louis Gray)今天使用来自Compete的流量数据将Twitter与竞争对手进行了比较 。 他发现，自从Twitter解决了正常运行时间问题以来，该网站的流量增长Swift。 同时，竞争服务FriendFeed，Plurk和Identi.ca的流量都从6月或7月的高点或平稳期下降。

It’s hard to argue that the downturn in traffic at Twitter’s competitors is seasonal or unrelated since Twitter has experienced such dramatic growth the last couple of months. And it all coincides with their drastically improved uptime.

很难说Twitter竞争对手的流量下降是季节性的或无关紧要的，因为Twitter在最近几个月经历了如此惊人的增长。 这与他们大大提高的正常运行时间相吻合。

It’s hard to bet against Twitter. They have 5 times more traffic than FriendFeed (according to Compete), and FriendFeed is generally viewed as their nearest competitor. In April, Mike Arrington said that downtime didn’t matter for Twitter because he needs Twitter more than Twitter needs him. This is the network effect at work. Twitter wins because everyone is already on Twitter, and now that their downtime isn’t an issue (knock on wood), nothing stands in their way. Except maybe Facebook, that is…

很难对付Twitter。 他们的流量是FriendFeed(根据竞争对手)的5倍，而FriendFeed通常被认为是距离他们最近的竞争对手。 4月，迈克·阿灵顿(Mike Arrington)表示，停机时间对Twitter并不重要，因为他比Twitter更加需要Twitter 。 这是工作中的网络效应。 Twitter之所以成功，是因为每个人都已经在Twitter上了，现在，他们的停机时间不再是问题(敲门砖了)，没有任何障碍。 除了Facebook ，就是……
