Apparently twitter only is successful when people follow you, or you follow interesting people. Add me if you'd like. I know it's a bit ridiculous but I'm a web services nerd I guess. Do you need to know what I'm doing constantly? Probably not, but I'm connected like that. I see a few people:

sriehl - http://twitter.com/sriehl
openfly - http://twitter.com/openfly/
cac - http://twitter.com/mahglotte

twitter type things:
http://www.twistori.com/
http://www.twittearth.com/
http://www.whoshouldifollow.com/
http://www.tweetmeme.com/
http://www.twitlinks.com/
http://www.twitturly.com/
http://www.twitthis.com/

So, Twitter is having some technical difficulties. Looks like it's scaling problems as a result of using RoR. See article:

I want to see a graph that shows the number of @ symbols in Facebook status updates from the creation of Twitter until now.

Scientist updates Twitter using only his mind

Mr Wilson, a biomedical engineering doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, first wrote: "SENT FROM BCI2000", referring to the model number of his machine.

i should be studying, but it's disheartening when you discover that the material that you're studying for the next morning is fraught with mathematical errors.

this is the second model in two days that i've torn apart mathematically. shit sucks

I changed the username of my private twitter, deleted it, and recreated my original username as a public account. http://www.twitter.com/brianpcurran

there's a method to my madness now, but the madness is still there.

i like to use tweetdeck because it's an extremely useful utilization and view of twitter.

i use mrtweet.net to locate and determine individuals to follow based on mrtweet's metrics and mine. you get about 80 suggestions per day.

if i find that someone is following me in my "new followers" column in tweetdeck, or by email i will go over to twtrfrnd.com and punch them in to see who mutual friends are and whether they are legitimate, assess their account numbers, then check their stream for content.

I am not a robot...
Twitter died while trying to post one of my comments just now. I logged out of my account completely to attempt to force-refresh it. When I did, I noticed the address bar read: "http://twitter.com/sessions/destroy"

Little smile :)

"destroy" is the default name for the action of deleting something in Ruby on Rails, so it makes sense :)

Ruby on Rails is the default language for inexperienced programmers writing web apps prone to failure.

Although I will agree that the rails community is full of douchebags. That doesn't make rails itself bad, however.

ruby is a language, rails is a supporting fail. but rails makes the web part relevant. Gosh. Don't be such nazis.
