We are offering The First Tweet-based Lottery Number Generator on Twitter - @LottoBot using the same technology as @CloudCalc, Abstract Initiative’s ACANTHUS/AsyncMQ-Web2.0 platform.
It’s time to change the paradigm of cloud computing, ease of use, and Web 2.0 infrastructure use-cases.
@LottoBot response
During the course of developing @CloudCalc, we’ve decided that Twitter may be a viable message queue - best utilized for asynchronous messaging, but good for messaging nonetheless.
We have decided to market this new platform as we feel there is a future in this sort of computing, and that it can bring real value to both its producers and consumers. A short note on it:
http://www.abstractinitiative.com/PerformanceJungle/leverage-twitter-for-your-business/
Abstract Initiative, LLC has released the first Twitter service/application that does not have anything to do with reading Tweets, tracking followers and those followed, or getting more followers. The @CloudCalc calculator (Details here: http://www.abstractinitiative.com/PerformanceJungle/cloudcalc-the-first-twitter-calculator/). This is the first application/service to leverage Twitter as an application communication platform - but definitely not the last.
A CloudCalc Response
IaaS or “Infrastructure as a Service” is a concept and frequently offered product in the Cloud Computing space that currently appears to have as much pervasiveness as any of the other service types. What you wind up with, in the majority of cases, is an operating system running on a clustered hypervisor architecture. So - to the end-user or customer, it’s just like having a dedicated server - Perhaps with some added perks like only paying for computing resources used or High Availability at the hypervisor level, insulating your operating system from some hardware failures, etc.
Dear Twitter,
We and many other users of your service get the page (seen below) quite frequently. This is a bit concerning because we have followers that really NEED to know our thoughts on “breakfast”, “Justin Bieber”, and other crucial topics.
To resolve this, we would love to assist your organization with it’s Capacity and Performance Management efforts. No magic, no real need to purchase expensive software unless you really want to, and the beautiful part of this, is that we can help you build models (not the runway or airplane types, but statistical ones) to help you predict the utilization of the “Twitter Service” as well as your capability to handle this utilization, using historical data that you should already have.
In the absence of historical data, we would love to help you get on the right path to collecting such data.

Also, because of the transactional nature of the “Twitter Service”, we can help you with feature roll out plans so that users don’t experience the waiting or “Twitter is over capacity” pages while new items are implemented like the one below:

All told, we believe strongly that by using a more efficient approach to performance and capacity management twitter.com can provide a more efficient, enjoyable, and functional service to its users and a better business value to its stakeholders.
Thank you,
