Microblogging is a mess!
May 20, 2008
I signed up for Twitter when it first appeared almost two years ago, but never really used it until recently. I began an experiment focusing on local (i.e. Dallas) twittering as explained here. Ironically, almost every time I try to ‘tweet’ I can’t because Twitter is down. Mike is writing about Twitter’s failure in a post titled, “Twitter: Something is Technically Wrong.“ How annoying.
I IM’d Whurley and asked him if Twitter was always down and he agreed. He suggested I try Leah’s Pownce but when I did I got error 500 — Internal Server Error. So I have concluded that this whole microblogging space is a mess. How hard could it be? Hmm…
