This is one reason why companies should use twitter...great for those
impromptu emergency messages. Our electrical utility company uses
twitter and I have to admit that it's nice to know what is going on
ahead of time even if it is a short message!

We just had a qwest outage of about 2 mins at 1:41am pst. When I called
to report it I was told it was a 200+ emergency software upgrade due to

Hmm - I got notice in advance. I'll have to go search for the email, but it
was sometime before Christmas, since I had it on my calendar.
