Twitterfail!

[panik]

Twitter have just destroyed the very reason most people enjoy using it. The net is, predictably, on fire. There's already a website about it.
You know, there's a saying, don't fix what ain't broke. LJ could use a dose of that maxim too.  And thus, a bad morning is made worse. ::Sigh:: Life, why must you try me so?

Followed the link, did not understand a word. Might have been in Chinese....

But then I have never got into twittering or whatever they call it, so not au fait with t'jargon, probably.

Ah. OK, well...

::shrug:: if you don't twitter I don't suppose you're going to care much anyweay. Basically, if you're friended to someone you see everything they say. Twitter have changed this so you only see original posts and the posts to people you already kow. Since the joy of twitter is that it's a great spider-web of contact - I follow Stephen Fry so I previously saw everyone he tweeted to'; I can check out their profile and tweets and if I like them, I friend them too. I've friended a lot of people that way, so has everyone lese - now that option is removed, I only see him tweeting to people I already know. What's the point of that?

No one likes it. Everyone's hoping they'll get the message and change it all back asap, if not, I suspect everyone will stop using Twitter and move on.
