Twitter now hosted by NTT America

February 1, 2008 |

Looks yesterday’s late night rumors were right. Twitter has announced that they are now indeed hosted by NTT America (not by Verio, as was rumored earlier):

We’re proud to announce our strategic alliance with a company known for reliability. A subdivision of the historic Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, NTT America is part of an organization capable of restoring power to an entire nation in the wake of devastating natural disasters.

Now the next part of the rumors were that this will be the lead-in for an announcement of Twitter’s acquisition by NTT or at least some form of investment by NTT. I don’t think there is a necessary link between the choice of host and any other announcement, so I am still on the fence about this rumor.

Here is for hoping that the service will become more stable thanks to this move and all the other infrastructure work the team at Twitter is putting into this. I hear there is an important football game coming up this weekend. Might be a good way of testing the system.
