© 2008 Twitter

After much badgering I thought that I would give twitter a go and see what all the fuss is about. I created an account ages ago but have not bothered doing anything with it (and will probably continue not to).

The only problem with this is that I have gone into my account and tried to update a few things, and I am not kidding when I say that every request either didnt complete by just timing out or I got some dodgy “Technical Error” page from them. How shit is that! I thought that they were meant to have sorted these issues out? It can be done I am sure and its about time that they sent in some proper engineers who know what they are doing and sort it out if they hope to get anywhere and start earning some money. It wont be long before Facebook are at their heels and compete with them considering they have just turned down a takeover offer. I know that Facebook also suffers technical problems but so far in my experience no where near the amount with twitter.

I also put a little update javascript thing in my side bar but it only loads in every other page request. It doesnt interfere my page loading because I put the JS at the bottom of the page (I know why they recommend this now) so I will leave it in for now hoping that it at least gets a little better. Not very impressed so far – not at all.
