Twitter was down again this morning. Shocker. But, sadly, not really.
Great service, horrible reliability. If Twitter were, say the phone company, I would have switched about 4 months ago.
But, it’s free. I have a tendancy not to complain (too much) about stuff that is free. Instead, I look for alternatives.
There is Pownce. But you have to use the site or the horrible Air app (unless someone has made something else).
There is Jaiku. I played with this for about an hour and I think I remember it being ok.
FriendFeed kinda has some of the functionality. Kinda. But, with it comes a bit of noise that might be reduced some by the new Room feature.
All well and good, but what about the people? Therein lies the problem.
What do you think? Stick around and wait while the good lads at Twitter get their act together? Try to find something else to use instead? Or, just forget about the Microblogging platform all together and get back to using IM and short blog posts?
It’s just a little frustrating. And, I don’t like being frustrated.
