Twitter is fun, social and sometimes informative. When it’s working. And that doesn’t happen very often.
I accept downtime for the sake of maintenance. I also accept the occasional unforeseen breakdown. But Twitter seems to be offline more often than it’s on, and I’m out of patience (and I’m not alone).
So, find me on Pownce: http://pownce.com/dcaolo/. Goodbye, Twitter. Here’s hoping you get your shit together.
Now, someone convince Craig Hockenberry to write a desktop Pownce app for the Mac.
Update: Twitter’s break-up with Joyent could have something to do with it.
I really get fed up about Twitter’s lack of professional uptime. It’s really a shame. I hear they’re moving from Joyent, however. I’ll see how they do with their new server host.
As much as I hate the downtime, I can’t bring myself to use Pownce. I just hate Pownce.
Well I’ll miss you on Twitter. I tried Pownce right when it came out and it just doesn’t cut it for me.
I don’t get as impatient about Twitter as everyone else, but I don’t access it throughout the 9 to 5 workday because my job requires me to be away from the computer. I guess I’m glad that I miss all the downtime frustrations.
