By Tom DunlapYesterday's Twitter outage got me wondering again about how fast this micro-blogging phenomenon has taken off and how many people thrive on tweeting.
Did the blackout leave you feeling "jittery" and "naked," as some people felt,
according to CNN?
Twitter has grown so fast and become so useful to many of us, in spite of all the lame tweets clogging our TweetDeck. We've written plenty about that on this blog and elsewhere. For instance, Twitter has helped me greatly in running the recently redesigned web site
SemanticWeb.com.
But the Twitter backlash is also growing. Last night, Conan O'Brien said in his monologue (and I'm paraphrasing): "Computer hackers crashed Twitter today. And the good news? Computer hackers crashed Twitter today."
Which leads to today's poll question:
