TechCrunch is down. Twitter is up. That is how we know it is 2009 and not 2007.

Mark: I've learned never to pitch when someone else is down, it just brings bad karma your way. I'd rather win business on service, APIs, flexibility, overall quality, etc, not on whether you're pissed off because your host is currently down. EVERY host will go down, and if you aren't planning on that you aren't making good architectural and business decisions. - Robert Scoble

I'm like that, too nice and honest. That's why ruthless people in business like Trump and Murdoch etc are zillionaires and I am poor :D - Mark

I'm enjoying the growing movement that believes Twitter is a waste of time. From what I have seen so far of FriendFeed I hope it replaces Twitter. Disclaimer: In my humble opinion of course. - paul watts

People often ask me what ROI do I see from twitter and I just point them to the blog and website numbers showing where traffic comes from. - Stephen Brown
