As long as Twitter actively works to grow and is open with the community about issues then I think you’ll see a low abandonment rate — well, as long as the services proves to be actually valuable (still in that fad stage as of now).

In nerd format: while($twitter!=$myspace){ $users=”happy”; } //hopefully Twitter won’t abandon their users

Thanks Kevin. Yeah, this has been a rough stretch for Twitter. The clock seems to be ticking for them rather quickly. I hope they can pull it together soon.

I won’t abandoned Twitter yet. But it really needs to get fixed.

[...] Even though Twitter is free, the “you get what you pay for” mindset won’t cut it for Twitter’s users.

Great image/shirt idea Dave. I may have to get one!

Pete, you’re right. There’s not really another choice that has the same adoption rate at this point. The good news for Twitter is that there’s still some relational equity left to spend with users. I just hope they don’t spend it all before the service gets solid.

I have a feeling we will be patient. I’m not sure we have any other choice. Eventually there will be another game in town and then these guys are going to have to step it up!

I used the down-time to get creative, while still being able to vent my frustration.
