traveller with a tale

There was a lot of talk recently from some apparently well respected bloggers about how users were going to abandon twitter if they continued to be presented with the Fail Whale as frequently as we were. At the time I thought to myself nonsense. I love twitter, it keeps me connected to entirely new groups of friends, many of whom I would have no connection to outside of it. An important tool in my world domination you might think.

However, today I caught myself looking at the Fail Whale and pretty much giving up, instead of my normal click the refresh button. It the occurred to me that I had probably been doing this subconsciously and indirectly for a while especially taking into account blue Twitteriffic eyes and SMS fail too.

So, maybe these bloggers were right, maybe we are giving up on twitter, just not an intentional, mindful, screw you twitter but subconscious mind creep drawing us away without even realising it. don’t want to become disconnected form my twitter friends, so I promise to make more use of it, even if that does mean click refresh an extra few times!
