Twitter – a victim of their own success
May 30th, 2008 by sharps
As I’ve said before – I find blogging hard to sustain – it takes some real time investment to do well. Twitter on the other hand – provides the same cathartic release with little of the overhead.
But Twitter is *really struggling* these days – it was never great (in terms of availability) but lately it’s become significantly worse. In a way it’s a good job that they haven’t switched from consumer ramp to revenue yet because angry paying customers are far worse than angry free loaders (like me).
Which is interesting in itself – maybe this downtime is all part of the monetization plan ? Maybe they’ll start offering a premium service for a superior QOS. I might be interested if it was very cheap (like SMS cheap) and Twitter can actually demonstrate some credibility.
