Haha buying Twitter would be awesome. But a open-source Twitter is an idea buzzing recently

While I generally think it premature to talk of a boycott, it might lighten the load enough for them to fix a few things, instead of just spending time trying to keep it up. And after the last few days, I'm ready for some actual progress.

I think mass contributions/posts to the getsatisfaction.com site would send a much much stronger message than not tweeting for a day.

I also agree with one of the posters on today's (5/20/08) outage report there http://tinyurl.com/5q2typ regarding the vulnerability inherent in relying on twitter. This type of communication is becoming so relevant to our lives that it becomes a target for attack by terrorist, spammers, hackers, governments, you name it.

So why leave it in the hands of those motivated solely by profit. All these social media evangelists as the related post up there suggests (most of them open source preachers also), and where is the Open Source Twitter project???

Or shit, for that matter, why don't We The Users, chip in & buy out twitter, forcing it to become open source.

I'm tired of hearing all the self-proclaimed tech gurus (currently a significant portion of the twitter user base) do nothing more than complain.

I was attracted to this blog because of the name, Shey. Because that’s my sons name. But I’ve come to discover a great resource here and Shey’s tag cloud could easily be my tag cloud. I outed twit today and hung on friendfeed. Shey, I’d like to chat with you on skype and do an interview about the social conversation that’s going on. My skype name is walhus if you’re game.

There’s definitely room for improvement on Friendfeed, but the conversation is already so much richer than anywhere else and the community is growing.

Thanks for stopping by, glad I implemented Disqus

I’m not sure that Twitter is going to “get the message” but hopefully they will. You’re right about the point being discussion is able to happen anywhere. Now that we have lots of services that can facilitate that distribution and aggregation it’s going to be up to the message generation service to innovate and court us with reliability and features. I think FriendFeed has opened a lot of people’s eyes to the possibilities of being able to converse anywhere though it’s still got some room for improvement. Disqus is also helping in that regard. As long as you can provide a way to hook into the conversations in many places then your service is still relevant. If you wall it up or you loose people’s trust because of downtime, your service will die.

Absolutely.

And on Canada’s net neutrality — yep, we have some serious issues.

The funny thing about twitter is that the recent developments over there with new faces coming in and old faces leaving shows that they are concerned about the outages. Whether they can fix them in a short enough period is a different issue. It’s interesting to me though that over the past two weeks, my usage of twitter has gone down — not because I don’t want to use it — but because I’ve been so busy. So much so that I have not noticed any outages. I have however experienced outages prior to the two weeks

I think for many people who respond to you in a rather laisez-faire or who cares-type manner just haven’t experienced the outages enough in a way that seriously impacts the way they use the Internet and the tools of social media. At the same time — I see no need to criticize those who want to push forward an improvement in service.

At the moment, I’m more so concerned about Canada’s Net neutrality
