With all its warts, I still use Twitter (see post below). However, some of those warts are pretty bad. Twitter’s scalability problems seem to at the heart of most of the blemishes.

At any rate, it was becoming problematic having my Tweets appear here, on the blog, because it was cutting in to my request-performance each hour (Twitter reduced requests from 70 per hour to 30). I was unable to even use Twitter, let alone feed this blog each entry.

The upshot is that Twitter is cutting down how often people can update their usage each hour. The less online locations (like a blog, Facebook, etc.) that bang against Twitter each hour… the better. It’s another sign of Twitter’s problems.

Anyway, just letting anyone interested know why I pulled Tweets off this blog. It’s no big deal – if you genuinely wish to follow me on Twitter just find me @blipfish.
