Since Jaiku was acquired by Google last year it's been closed to new signups. It's essentially dead where it stood.

The good thing about FriendFeed is, that it keeps all your streams together. So you don't have to leave a service anymore. Drop in, drop out. On FriendFeed nobody will notice it.

I got tired of the Link Only Community on Twitter constantly sending just links and offering no Replies or interaction.

it's amazing the correlation between someone losing their cell phone and someone losing their twitter followers. Will people go back to the snail mail days? Is it the end of the world as we know it (start signing the REM song)? I had a twitter follower call me for the first time today after 2 months of chatting back and forth.

My trust in twitter is gone. They've destroyed any sense of brand/product integrity. Outages were sufferable, but annihilating my network / community on their app is paramount to twitter deleting my account (they've in affect reduce their app functionality to an unusable point - can't DM numerous followers, etc!). Now a mass exodus of users will have to go find a reliable service that we can count on to not only preserve valuable network data, but also ensure higher uptime. Bye twitter, you suck!

I had over 500 followers; now down to 376; Had about 850 I was following, now down to 756. My network is valuable to me and my circle of friends. I must protect that and use an app that won't fail us so miserably. Now I am using Identi.ca --> http://identi.ca/susanbeebe

I went from following quite a few very cool people to 29. Not too stoked with that at all. I'm using identi.ca as well.

Are they not going to be able to resolve the number count then?
- Joe Dawson
I thought they've got all that funding for their potential... but most probably this was a huge mistake as they seem to have just a huge potential to FAIL.

@Joe I am starting to believe that they will not be able to restore it. They will patch it and come up with some sort of explanation for the missing pieces. And that will be a lie.
- Alex Popescu
@Joe Dawson (joedawson): I think this is the real question. If the number count isn't resolved by end of today, that could be the last straw.

Thanks for calling them followers instead of fans! It sounds more reciprocal and less adoring.

I was just getting into twitter recently, I definitely won't be bothering with it in the future.

I can't leave twitter alone, for some reason. But use identi.ca alongside, in twhirl.

I'm wondering if the followers and friends are actually gone or if it's a program issue. I still see the same activity as most days.
