Ya I admit that Twitter grace is galling day by day but you need to fund out the reasons behind that and try to solve out the problems behind that.

I recently blogged about this as well. Though I have seen many newer services popping up recently, and showing up in my twine feeds, I cannot imaging jumping ship on twitter. It is where everyone I follow (and everyone who follows me) is. And unless there is some mass migration, you won't find me plurking anytime soon.

Feel free to drop us a line using the contact form. I'd love to take a look
at it once it's live.

Cheers,

Great article! I myself never got into twitter or friend feed. But these services are here to stay and this goes to show you can't treat your users like idiots… @ least not to their faces!

I will certainly check it out (as I check out damn near everything anyone links to). I was probably a little heavy handed with my pronouncement of Socialthing!'s death, I know it's not dead. I was using it as an example of something that had a lot of hype upon initial release (which it did) and then the trumpeting died off. Perhaps died on the vine wasn't the right phrase.

I will make sure to check in over at socialthing! sometime soon.

Greg, terribly sorry it's taken us so long to comment on this. I'm one of the founders of Socialthing! and I just want to let you know we're far from dead and gone. We've got a good loyal userbase, but most importantly, for the past two months we've been hard at work on our massively revamped version 2.0. It's now almost done, and it will really change the way people think about our service. I hope once it's out, you get a chance to check it out and let us know what you think…we'd really love to hear what you think!

I think there is something to be said about building an audience for its own sake. Generally, I find that Twitter works "better" for certain things when you have a larger following (as long as your following back, of course).

I've "eavesdropped" on tons of great conversations that I would have completely missed had I strictly friended people that I knew.

I guess it all boils down to motivation.

So, I've been saying this for a long time, but I feel that twitter should sell to someone with lots of servers (google comes to mind). The reason is that users will resent the downtime. So why not take the hundred or two hundred mil and call it a day
