The reason Twitter will not die
There is a very clear reason why Twitter hangs on in the face of poor performance and so many alternatives. We are all so busy we just want one damn constant thing in our online lives. Nobody really has the energy to pursue the “perfect” tool when there is a good enough one that almost everyone is using. This is especially true since once that tool is found, you need to get all your peeps to agree with you and move as well.
Ugh: Fail Whale Fan Club
While I personally would like to see Plurk improved and make it my base of operations, realistically that isn’t going to happen. Maybe someone can find a way to easily thread Twitter via the API? I hope so!
Maybe they already have! Do you know a conversation-threading tool that hooks into the Twitter API? Let me know!
