The Rise of Boo Boo’s of Twitter

If you are on some of the mailing sites of online newsroom, you may be getting some bad press on Twitter… and…

Twitter.com

If you are in your Twitter’s account, you’ll notice this:

Twitter will be short some features while we recover from a database crash. See our blog post for the whole story.

And as you read further on in the Twitter’s Blog, more signs of dark clouds hovering, like:

  • A popular blogger accuses Twitter of refusing to enforce their Terms of Service
  • An errant API project overloading their main database, resulting in the error pages and slowness most people are now encountering.

Are more bad things to come, let’s really keep our fingers crossed…

My two-cents worth of view and suggestion for Twitter:

Twitter is something unique that I have ever came across after blogging and RSS Feed. Why? Blogging invites the updating of the latest happenings anytime, anywhere… RSS Feed makes every blog portable and easy to access…

Twitter is the combination of both (blogging and RSS Feed) in congested form - easy to access, straight-to-point, updated information.

At this juncture, what I am seeing is that Twitter is growing at a rate that’s way too fast. (it’s a free service and many popular bloggers are heavily promoting the use of Twitter - because of them, I have some people following me now…Wow!)

Secondly, may I know who is supporting Twitter in its expansion? Where are the revenues coming in from? There are no banners, no Google Adsense and no donation box in sight.

For such a good service, I do not mind seeing some banners or some advertisement sponsorship. Do you all agree?
