As a person addicted to the internet, it is fascinating/terrifying for me to watch others who are even more addicted. Check out the getsatisfaction.com thread about Twitter’s recent cache issue:
I am one of those users who has ceased to exist on Twitter’s timeline for a lot of people. Really weird. Feel like I’m tweeting alone. Like I’ve been muted. So not fun. Any idea when this will be fixed?
This one is at least partially in touch with the world outside her monitor:
And here I thought all my buddies had simply decided to walk away from ‘technology’ for a while and enjoy their weekend ‘offline’. Hoping to see this get fixed soon.I’m sad, but this ‘outage’ gives me an excuse to focus on other things…
Of course, some people use Twitter for journalistic ends:
No pressure guys-but Tuesday is Penn. Primary and Web 2.0 and New Comm Forum kick off next week too. of my 2000 plus followers, only a handful can see me. They all think I’m dead.
but that’s not Twitter’s problem. That’s your own problem.
Another voice of sanity:
!@#$ you all. Seriously. Twitter is FREE. You haven’t paid a cent to use it. You still don’t pay a cent to use it. It’s not a god given right, it’s not a utility. Don’t like it? Stop !@#$-ing whining and build your own social network. Go buy a server, install Rails, set up one of the open source Twitter clones, and take your stupid friends and your whining with you.I’m irritated.
