I missed Twitter over the weekend. I’ve barely been using it for two weeks and when it’s not working, I’m sad. It looks like it is finally almost working again, but I don’t want to get too attached or it will go away again. The RSS to the right of this post that has my Tweets in it just started double posting, so things aren’t fully righted quite yet, it seems. This doubling might be Twitter’s fault, or it might be mine because I changed the theme of my blog, but in both cases the services are free to me so I can’t really complain, so I won’t. This is not a complaining post, but rather just an observation of humans interacting.
Tonight is a big night for Barack Obama supporters. I don’t think we actually expect him to win outright in Pennsylvania. We know better than to hope for that, but if he comes close at all to victory, then it should be over for Hillary. She will probably hang on until the end, but I think we all know that this would be one of those blows that results in internal bleeding which really should be looked at by a doctor as opposed to trying to fight on.
How does this apply to Twitter? Well, because events/happenings like tonight or what sounds like happened at SXSW earlier this year are what Twitter seems perfect for. Maybe Twitter was fixed just in time, maybe not. For a site which has no visible business model, we can be thankful it exists at all. Twitter is a strange beast, but even people’s reaction, or lack thereof, to it being wonky, has been the most fascinating part of all.
