So I start using Twitter yesterday and it's always down

I like this blogging and social networking thing. However, I really don't have the time or energy to keep it up. So I link to a lot of things that automatically update themselves like my Last.fm account, my recently viewed Netflix movies, etc. Many times I have something quick to make a record of and after hearing the guys on Twit and Diggnation go on and on about Twitter I finally decided to give it a try yesterday.

I managed to create my user name (ericbangerter) and customize the page and do a few Tweets yesterday before the site went down. I had something to post today and can't because it is down again. Pretty unbelievable that a company that gets so much press doesn't have its act together. What really surprises me is that the folks talking it up have never mentioned its unreliability.

At least they are posting some updates about it: Twitter Blog: Not True
