Apparently, I'm an elitist technologist who doesn't care whether Twitter lives or dies. I'm an idiot for doing the Twit-Out, and I should appreciate Twitter and try to help. Did I miss anything? :)
You talk too much? -Remember, you broke comments yesterday ;) Pay no attention to haters Bwana. Life is too short to worry about Twitter and Twit-outs. As I see it, it's all in fun.

It's cool to hate on the people that are hating on Twitter.
- Bartek Ciszkowski
It was fun, that's for sure. The angst is amazing to watch. Pretty much all of it is based on speculation.

if you're an elitist, i should be in england claiming my right to the throne.

I disagree...I think the Twit-Out will motivate Twitter and push them to be better.

@Chris, I'm not sure much of a "dent" was made - anyone have numbers on the actual effect?
- Vince DeGeorge
It is my belief that it was only a small part of a much bigger outcry. The difference was it was organized and the discussion threads are somewhat centralized on FriendFeed.

you're lucky. i'm just a regular idiot :(

I've seen quite a few comments in the last 48 hours indicating that the folks who came over to use FF liked it a lot - some better, some may even switch. If that does not motivate Twitdev then they should lose followers.

Yep. That covers it. KIDDING. I think what the Twit-Out did to spark discussion is great. It spurred a lot of great ideas and we all together were able to get Twitter's attention. So that's a good thing. :)

Caring about twitter doesn't make you an elitist...

I love Twitter and I hope they can get everything worked out but until they show they value their users enough to go out of their way to provide timely communication about problems I will no longer be the enthusiastic Twitter "evangelist" that I was and, instead revert to passive user status.

Don't let it bother you. In fact, it looks like you're good luck for Twitter. You Twit-Out, they get a $15 million shot in the arm.
