Was I really the first to twit a www.revision3.com outage?

Wow! I was poking around the net tonight. I like to watch a few shows over at Revision3 and has just finished this week’s Tekzilla when I got a “Error establishing a database connection” error. I did some refreshing and eventually ended up with this notice, but it looks an awful lot like a replacement for a generic 404 message.
What is amazing to me is the fact that I was the first person to tweet it. It’s becoming a knee jerk reaction of mine to hit my twitter tab in Firefox as soon as I notice something strange. According to twitscoop I was the first to notice.
Granted this could be, and most likely is nothing at all. I am hoping that is the case after what Revision3 went through a couple of weeks ago with a DDOS attack that rendered their servers down for the majority of a long weekend.
Just thought the twitter aspect was interesting!
EDIT: Please note that as of 10:16pm their servers seem to be responding.
