i am not a twitter user, but i understand the appeal of the technology. it’s great that they are getting so popular and that they have the good problem of too much traffic. i think it’s ridiculous though that there problems are so bad that they have to rate limit your number of requests for updates to 10 per hour. personally, i would find that would make the service close to useless for me. the joy of twitter is getting all of those little twits when they were twat! not 6 minutes later…

i hope that they resolve their load issues soon because right now they have really opened up the space for a new player to come to town and take all of their users away.
