Kottke's Tiwtter

Kottke's take on Twitter. Back in December, I talked to Jason a bit about Twitter, and he already had evolved thoughts on it... glad he's putting them up now. (Me on Twitter.)

Also: I've had that Twitter box on the right of this site's homepage since last year, and it's increasingly broken because Twitter is having serious performance problems.... I hope they can scale quickly or they are going to suffer the fate of Friendster.

The good news is that <a href="http://twitter.com/blog/2007/03/tortoise-and-twitter.html">they seem to be working post-haste to fix the performance bugs</a> and the guys doing their <a href="http://textdrive.com/">hosting</a> are really sharp.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> We'll look back on March 07 as <a href="http://twitter.com/jimray/statuses/10219191">Twitter's eternal September</a> when all the kids showed up to see what all the hype is about. Also, I blame Kottke for breaking Twitter.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> As for suffering the fate of Friendster, MySpace seems to be trucking right along and it's a usability nightmare in addition to being notoriously unreliable.
