Twitterはテレビ番組は作らないけどテレビから何か大きなものを得るらしい — Wed, 27 May 2009 03:59:14 +0000

[...] Twitterといえば短い簡潔なメッセージ。でも彼らのブログ記事の書き方は、簡潔にはほど遠いから笑わせる。まだそんなに日にちが経ってるわけでもないのに、今日（米国時間5/26）はいわゆるTwitterのテレビ番組に関するブログ記事がまた載った。これで二度目だ。内容は、昨日の説明に関する説明だ。前にも同じようなことがあったな。数週間前にTwitterは、あること（@repliesの変更）について説明するのにブログ記事を4つも使った。 [...]

It May Not Be Making A TV Show, But Twitter Sure Has A Lot Of Reruns — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:56:07 +0000

[...] For a service that is all about concise messaging, it’s humorous how the manner in which Twitter writes its blog posts is anything but. For the second time in as many days, we have yet another post today about the supposed Twitter TV show. This one is a clarification of the clarification from yesterday. It’s similar to how Twitter needed no less than 4 blog posts on one topic a few weeks ago to explain something (the changing of the @replies). [...]

I find it hard to belive that the twitter UI and development work cost 10’s of millions. If you have any proff of this can you point me to it ?

I belive that with an open source tye solution the cost of development and possibly scale would be much smaller.

Twitter is not a technology company. They are a marketing play. There technolgoy could be and has been knocked off by very junior developers.

I believe that one of the philosophies of Open Source is that you should have the freedom to change the applcation to suite your needs as long as you make your changes availabel for the “Communutity”.

The twitter “community” does not have this freedom.

I quite recently joined the ranks of the Twitter zombies who are hopelessly glued to their computers — in fact, it’s officially been one week for me. I became instantly enamored and repulsed with my new addiction, so much that it inspired me to pen the following article called “Top 5 Reasons Why Being A Twitterin’ Junkie Is NOT GREEN!”. If anyone wants to laugh or tear me a new one, please feel free to check it out by pasting this address into your browser:

Anyway, I NEVER EVERRrrrrrrrr thought that I’d get sucked into the Twitter vortex like I have, and yet here I am. It is SO ideal for today’s ADD society, and I am (sadly) one of the annointed!

I disagree. Twitter is not a marketing phenomenom. The word marketing assumes that there is a business plan which of course there is not. It intrigues me that we are now criticizing the design of a service that has cost the developers 10’s of millions to give us at no charge. If you want something changed – well go and pay for it. Many players in the market considered the Twitter type service over the last decade, but they all came to the same conclusion. The one to many feature, coupled with viral distribution will cause scaling and financial issues, so best to leave to to some other poor fool who is naive to think it’s bankable. I say “give the poor naive guys who created Twitter a break” Put yourself in their shoes. They’re burning $100,000’s per day – and rising; they can’t think of any way to make money. They have to try to limit their scaling requirements
