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.
