Using twitter with maintenance/502 web pages
In dark times of site maintenance (force or unforced) why not use a light twitter feed on a 502 (or similar) coded page?
Bearing in mind that any custom error page should be light, you could easily call the API and give your users real-time updates on why the site might be down/unavailable and possible ETA on when the site might be back online again.
