   #Twitter apparently still, occasionally, drops out: Wikipedia says the most recent #failwhale was ~2 days ago, for 20 minutes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail_whale#Outages

      I'm stupefied by the idea that a celebrity + event that I don't care about could knock out my service for unrelated communications that I do care about.

         Like Doc Searls said: "SMTP never gave me a whale. Nor has POP3, SSH, XMPP or any of the other protocols in the #Internet Suite." http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/whats-tweeting-protocol

            @rozzin ... The big problem with #Twitter is centralization. Centralized ownership & control, centralized server infrastructure (outages tend to affect everyone, not just users of server X).

               My favorite part of this article is the nod to #fragmentation: "Fragmentation is a fundamental part of how people interact with information online; it's how we socialize offline, too." http://status.hackerposse.com/url/5734
