Twitter :) Not so bad after all
Posted by clamasters in blog, Twitter on September 16, 2008
So If you haven’t noticed on my Twitter account and on the right column of my blog here I have some twitter stuff. I’m warming up to it quite a bit. It’s neat to see what people are doing or even that they care to post little tidbits like working on fiber link, fixing MySQL issues, hating 1&1 hosting, etc. Fun stuff. I have also grown fond of the TwitterFox Firefox plugin.  So please enjoy my tweets and follow me if you so wish. I might have something good to tweet about.Â
Twitter …. annoyances
Posted by clamasters in blog, Twitter on June 26, 2008
Ok, one of the guys at the office started using twitter and kept prodding that I needed to use it to. Well, I don’t like doing things that aren’t easy and I don’t like wasting time on something pointless. I started searching around for “easy” ways to use Twitter and have discovered a few Firefox extensions, GMail chat add in via Twitter, and now a WordPress plugin which I installed just before I started this blog post. You can find me on twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/clamasters.
Here is what has annoyed me to the point that I don’t like using it. Every time I do something on the website, that is Twitter.com, I get a stupid error saying that “Twitter is over capacity” and that I should try again later. That makes me so angry. Rarely do you ever see Facebook or Myspace to say that it’s too busy. Why should any other e-service be held to a different standard. I’m sure I’m just barking up a tree here and they are experiencing growing pains just like all the other social networks, but there has to be a balance. So far JUST THIS MORNING, I have gotten the above error 9 times!!! Ugh…
On a lighter note, it is kinda cool.
