Michael Yip: Tried DestroyTwitter? Or just keep trying, it's an intermittent problem.

Huai Bin: As above.

Joey Logano Fan: Good stuff, keep it updated

julian: Indeed, no one I know is using SMS to update unless they are out of data coverage (GPRS is fine to update, 3/3.5G is best for Twitpic). Full capacity is reached using a desktop app like those mentioned above (Tweetdeck, Dt(w), Twhirl, Seesmic). Mobile data compliments it meaning you can Tweet on the go.

Thanks - seems like I should have read your post more closely. Will try to find out more about the SMS side of things... I guess it means that it is basically people with mobile internet access who will be using it in its full capacity?

I am still very much a newbie to twitter, I only just recently signed up with twitter. My @joeyloganofan offcourse. I am following you now Shaolin, by the looks of it, you gave me a really good idea.... I am going to try to photoshop a photo on the left hand side, like you did. I think that will be much better to brand myself more. I just wish twitter had more customization!

I just jumped on the bandwagon and I love it! It's so addictive. Like Michael, I too have problems downloading TweetDeck too. It keeps on giving me a binary error. :S

sadly, TweetDeck was unable to install into my computer despite numerous tries. Now have to wait for the TweetDeck guys to get back to me on how to overcome the installer problem.

Mark Leo: Yah it's carving out a new niche for live, unedited, raw reporting from the scene. suanie: Spam! eyeris: Yah irreverent maybe, but you still maintain some quality in your posts - you don't just post random one liners about what you are doing or what you had for lunch. davidlian: Blogs and Twitter complement each other I think, not exclude each other. julian: Non of us are using SMS as mentioned in the post, we all use data apps - mostly desktop based like Tweetdeck and Twibble/Gravity on the move. So we only pay data charges (nothing if we have unlimited package). bryanlyt: Digsby is more than just a Twitter client so it doesn't really fit here. It's an all in one web app. KY: Keep trying! Or alternatively try DestroyTwitter. kimberlycun: Thanks for your insight.. Nigel: Yah Tweetdeck rocks, not sure what the AIR issue is some people are having but it seems intermittent. christock: Overrated by who? It's the fastest growing website. There is a high fallout rate though. dsaint: Most of our FB statuses come from Twitter anyway so why not go to the source? It's not a problem anyway because Tweetdeck handles FB status too.

twitter is boring. status update on facebook is better. more activity.
