I really want to use Twitter. I really, really do. But their service seems to have a lot of availability problems. It’s up, it’s down, it’s flakey, and then suddenly it works just fine.
Is it just me, or is this happening to lots of people? A quick Google tells me it’s the latter. In which case, why do people continue to use it? Why not use alternative services like Jaiku or Pownce?
(note: this was the first time I ran Twitterific in weeks!)
What is it about Twitter that keeps people coming back for more, despite its flakiness?
