Twitter is Blindingly Slow…

June 21st, 2007 I just got hooked into twitter, a service which exists for the sole purpose of letting others know what you are doing at this moment. However it is more than that.

July 16th, 2007 Stalking appears to be the most appropriate way to describe my recent experiences. First of all Twitter (I love the service) has changed the message from so and so is your friend to the eerie message so and so is following you.

October 4th, 2009 I was playing around with the twitter API and I found a way to find the exact number of Twitter users. Note: The number of twitter users is continuously increasing by dozens every second, however it will still be accurate at the time of this writing for the higher order digits.

June 26th, 2008 Twitter seems to be having serious scalability issues, a malaise which plagued the otherwise popular service since its early days. Could this be related to its architectural decision of adopting Ruby-on-Rails? There was a rumor not so long ago that twitter was abandoning Ruby on Rails.

March 29th, 2008 Robert Scoble recently commented that the secret to twitter is to follow more people, that way you get to learn more. I agree that is it important.

September 4th, 2007 You can get my daily twitter digest here. Here is the RSS feed of the daily digest.

August 14th, 2009 Twitter co founder Biz Stone recently announced on the Twitter blog that they are all set to integrate retweets into the service and application programing interface. Currently the method of retweeting on twitter.com is a cumbersome process of copying and pasting.

November 25th, 2008 Facebook offered to buy Twitter for $500 million of overvalued Facebook stock, Kara Swisher says. Twitter rejected the offer for several reasons: And they can be, At Facebook's real valuation, $5 billion or so, the offer only amounted to $150 million (not bad for two-year old company with no revenue, but a far cry from the billion-dollar dream) Twitter has high hopes for its own secret revenue model which will be announced next year.

June 30th, 2009 Managing new Twitter notifications and direct messages is a hassle that aggravates with Twitter's interface. To match this you would need a tool that could revamp the new follow notifications and adding support for following back and relying to direct messages via email.

January 21st, 2009 Twitter and Orkut have attracted millions of people in the world into social networking. To each, its own.

July 2nd, 2007 Twitter is down again. Initially I was getting down for maintenance messages.

May 21st, 2009 Twitter's shooting up at a reckless pace as if it's got a nitro boost.  Figures released by comScore reveals that Twitter's global unique visitor this April had touched 32 million, gaining 13 million visitors since March 2009. Twitter flaunts 17 million unique visitors in U.S alone.

December 24th, 2008 Gmail, despite being the simple and effective email companion for most of us, takes a hell lot of time to load at start up. This is very annoying for them who don't have a broadband or a slow internet connection.

January 5th, 2009 Twitter, with its increased popularity have obviously been at the dark sight of crackers. They try phishing to manipulate your account and also hijack your twitter profile to irritate your followers too.

February 6th, 2008 Many of us have a distributed work force which often leaves people wondering what others are doing. Twitter is a great service for updating status.
