Re: Twitter

this site has always had capacity problems, it is a running joke about their service outages because they have always been pretty bad.

the site is exploding in popularity the last 6 months, so they really need to do some reengineering of their site setup or they are going to be in some big hurting. i can barely use the web interface during the day because it is so slow or doesnt respond.

It's an Aussie invasion! The service has suddenly caught on here and over the past few months, everyone I know is suddenly on it.

Prior to this, I've read reports that Twitter has actually been improving or maintaining its up time.

Re: Twitter

First of all I don't see the added value of Twitter. What do I care what my buddies are doing at any given time of the day/night? If I want to know, I'll call them or look them up in real. Social skills, y'know?

Secondly I'm getting fed up with this cyber exhibitionism. On one hand everybody is concerned about their privacy, but on the other hand they give a status update for every single futility.

Seriously.

Because the times are a-changing ... twitter is mostly a tween playground.

Get your panties out of a bunch and step into the 21st century

Its unfortunately the way of the future (for now anyways), so you'd better get use to hearing about stuff like this.....its the "need to know everything about anyone and everyone generation"

I didn't think I would like Twitter at first either (especially since someone else out there has DancingQueen ), but since I joined to check it out, I actually find it useful at times. Sure there are the random "what are you doing" updates, but there is a lot more to it than that. There are news updates, financial tips, cooking tips, music release notifications etc. Twitter is what you make it really.

Re: Twitter

i think it's pretty good to use as a microblog function but i haven't found too many interesting people to follow is the problem. i have 2 good local sites to follow and Darth Vader is funny but anybody know of anything else?
