As usual, a really good plot with some educational value thrown in. Though I never did figure out why the names of the characters kept changing randomly. - Craig

From its Texas Rangers to its enthusiastic take on the death penalty, the Lone Star State has long been known for its aggressive stance on law enforcement. Thanks to a strange new law, it's a sting that may soon be felt by a number of the state's computer - Craig

yeah, that stuff is awful. they are playing on people's fears. for a long time i was getting messages everyday from a recording telling me it was a debt collector and that i was in big trouble. if i had had any debts and/or was less savvy (i'm thinking of elderly people), i might've called back and who knows what might have happened. good work tracking your guys down all over the place. - edythe

You guys get telemarketing calls? I don't think I have had one in 10 years. - RAPatton

National NoCall List has done wonders - Michael W. May via twhirl

and GrandCentral sends all those calls to "Number not in service" message - Nathan Eckenrode

the Do No Call Registry hasn't helped in this case, they are wardialing - Craig

oh, yeah, Grand Central is a very good idea for the home phone... - edythe

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. - Vince DeGeorge

It was fun, that's for sure. The angst is amazing to watch. Pretty much all of it is based on speculation. - Bwana McCall

Seconded, Vince - Shey

I think whoever said that didn't read what you actually said. - Harvey Simmons

Nah, you're ok in my book. - Thomas Hawk

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

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

@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. - Bwana McCall

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

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. - Jody C

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. :) - Jennifer Leggio

Caring about twitter doesn't make you an elitist... - Sarah Perez

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. - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

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. - Tom Landini

If I know human nature, it's probably not over yet... - Shey

But Sarah, it shameful right? - Shey

Yeah, ignore them. - TranceMist

If I stopped doing something every time someone had a gripe about it, I wouldn't be doing anything at all. - Morton Fox

My last comment was just in reference the first 2 paragraphs -- i enjoyed the rest of the post http://www.readwriteweb.com/ar... - Shey

Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion about Twitter - good or bad. I just find the whole "if only they would give us the source code, we'd be glad to fix it for them" meme very tedious. I hear the same comments from 13 year old MMORPG players all the time, only those players are actually paying for the service they complain about so they probably have more standing than any of us. Everyone just relax, scaling any application is difficult on a limited budget. They'll get ahead of it soon I'm sure. - Craig

Mike: you define yourself by who you follow. Dave wants to hang with the political crowd now, not the geek one. He blocked me after I videoed Jason Calacanis. - Robert Scoble

I have lost almost all respect for @davewiner lately. He seems very bitter and angry. - Craig via twhirl

We should start a "blocked by @davewiner club." I'll bet it would be an interesting group. - Scott Maentz

When you follow 10,000 people on twitter, how can you be defined by who you follow? - Raanan Avidor

*ahem* I do believe that should read "by whom you follow"... ;-) - Lisa L. Seifert via Alert Thingy

This is so deep and profound that unless you have already discovered "hide" nirvana in FF you won't understand what @scobleizer is saying! - Elliott Ng

Raanan: I follow a very particular set of 21,000 people on Twitter. Have you figured out how I chose those twitterers yet? - Robert Scoble

Hmmm. Very interesting thought on friendfeed vs twitter - Robert Merrill

nonsense from Robert but who cares? - Dennis Howlett via Alert Thingy

You follow 21,000 and you have a pattern... i know what it is ...you want to hit the 40,000 mark , in line with Traffic !! ....."Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind...." Am shoing my age here :-) - viki saigal

Viki I don't want to follow 40,000. You must have me confused with Jason Calacanis. I want only early adopters. - Robert Scoble

Dennis: who cares? So far 11 people do. - Robert Scoble

It's nice to see you've opened your perspective on the nature of mass following on Twitter. I said it before, I'll say it again, I'm all about interacting with as many people as possible, but following needs to be selective if it's going to add value. - Andrew Badera
