Decided to stop numbering the Techcasts. Rest assured though, I’ll let you know when I hit those great milestone episodes.
Couple puts baby for sale on ebay, Guitar Hero to turn into Rock Band, Samsung’s 256G solid state drive and what would a Techcast be without a mention of Twitter.
If you ask me, Twitter’s just shootin’ itself in the foot with all this downtime. This is probably the 6th or 7th time that I can’t log on in the past week. Granted, one was scheduled downtime, but still…
Twitterers are a loyal bunch, sticking around through the thick and thin of all the downtime, but sooner or later someone new is going to pop up with a much better uptime record and then people will, slowly at first start switching. Once the big guys like Leo, Kevin and Scoble start switching, look out. It’ll be the death knell for the once venerable micro-blogging service.
If I were Twitter and I wanted to keep the users I had, I would very quickly find someone who can make the service scale to the numbers its getting and give said person a firm deadline of next week to come up with a workable plan and then the following week to make it work.
Twitter’s got lots of eyeballs and if it wants to keep them and start profiting off them, it’s going to have to open its own eyeballs and get crackin’.
Thanks for dropping by and thanks for listening. Please subscribe.
Twitter’s down again. The second time in just a few hours. Last time it went down about 7pm Wednesday night. What am I going to do now? I’m getting the shakes. Should I call a doctor?
