Twitter has been slow or non-functioning over the last week. Not good. And today, the “older” link, which enables you to scan tweets that you may have missed, is gone. Not good. Is this spelling the end of twitter? Could be.
Technorati went through something similar–until it got to the point that I started using other services. It wasn’t the simple fact that Technorati became unstable, it was that as they broadened their system their core got muddled. I wanted to search blogs. That’s the number one thing I wanted. It had to work well. The other stuff was stuff.
I think it must be something the Bay Area developers are drinking.
