You say that sarcastically, but I imagine that many brands, who have advertising campaigns scheduled for one of the more lucrative days of the week, will be less amused.

With a PPC/CPM model Twitter is internalizing all the losses...

Do they have different models?

I'm not necessarily referring to Sponsored Tweets; brands often coordinate word-of-mouth campaigns across all forms of media too, and Twitter's downtime would hurt that too.
Oh, no doubt. Some API functionality went haywire earlier today too... so anything built on top of Twitter can potentially have issues.
oh yeah good point!! I totally forgot about "sponsored tweets".
