Technology Fail

Attacks on lone blogger reverberate across Web

That's the AP headline, and my reaction is threefold:

First, why is "Web" capitalized? Is it the proper name of a specific place, like Des Moines or Middle Earth?

Second... technology fail:

On Friday, the surge of traffic to Twitter was about as it was Thursday — as much as 20 percent above normal traffic levels. But Gomi said NTT was better able to filter out the fake traffic, which is why Twitter stayed online.


20%? Seriously?

Third... Shirtless Putin says "Down with Georgian bloggers!"
