imagine there was a theme park with a roller coaster that u loved and it was free and they let you ride all you wanted and you made a bunch of cool new friends at the roller coaster and someone broke in and took some bolts out and the guy that owned the roller coaster had to shut it down for 3 hours to fix it... would you bad mouth that guy?

Now imagine a hospital with equipment that kept you alive and had to be running 24/7. The hospital didn't do their due diligence in assessing and managing risk and thus allowed there to be a situation where some malicious person locked every door in the hospital thus denying you from getting the care that you need to survive. Who would your family sue for the death? - Alex Scoble

I guess the point is that the more valuable the time with access to a resource is, the more serious the penalties when the access is lost.. - Justin Long

Yes they probably would Alex... but the Hospital would also charge my family because they are offering a service that is life or death and that "charge" constitutes a contract and they broke that contract by not doing what they charged me for. - Cody Heitschmidt

the point (well.. my point, as shitty as it may be) is "Twitter" is cool as shit and its free. And when it goes down and shitload of spoiled brat crybabies come out of the woodwork to bad mouth how horrible it is. I dont dig it! - Cody Heitschmidt

And that's the problem with a free service...people view it the same as if they are paying for it, particularly if they use it a lot. Of course if people were paying for it then you'd probably have to deal with more than just screaming. - Alex Scoble

Alex, I agree 100% (almost) i don't think its a "problem with a free service" I think its a spoiled brat attitude in the world today. Its a problem with certain users attitudes. Not with Twitter. - Cody Heitschmidt
