Do you think that this post got the Twitter folks to release their statement? My money says Yes.

I had to give a presentation about Twitter to folks at Stanford yesterday. I knew in advance that Twitter was bound to be down and it was at time I started. Presentation was missing a demo and thus, less effective.

But I was thinking about 30 minutes before I had to start that — “This stupid service never stays up and I’m recommending a strategy utilizing twitter to Stanford University? Am I crazy or just dumb?”

anyway…this tweet about sums up what I think

but who knows if Twitter will be up so you can see that.

I haven’t tried friend feed, Twitter is such a great system I’m loath to get distracted with something else, or turn my attention away from the people I’ve got to know there.

But the last few days have been extremely frustrating and will risk people turning away from it.

There are so many people invested in it – people who know how to make this kind of stuff work, how to make it better, how to turn it into a model that’s sustainable for the people who run it and the people that enjoy using it – are the folks at Twitter tapping into the community they’ve got sitting around waiting for them to get it fixed?

Twitter will live. We won’t all run away. Inertia is a beautiful thing. But we’re bothered. Don’t discount that.
