I don’t understand why they can’t beef up a little to meet their demand. They are only worth $500M. All the restrictions and slow responses should be unnecessary. Who wouldn’t give their left *** to be in their shoes.

Can someone explain to me why it is so hard to keep the twitter service up and running especially after they have several MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in funding?

It really cannot be THAT hard.

Despite it’s growing traffic, why does twitter go down occasionally? Does anyone actually know?

Agree about the cool down pictures, they should incorporate them somehow in the twitter logo “Google” style.

“yes, it asks for your user name and password and no, we won’t do anything wrong with it”

Just *asking* is wrong. Techies may well know what the score is, but you’re teaching the non-techies that giving out a username and password to a third party is normal.
