I have been on Twitter for 4 days now and I've yet to have the service stay up full-time. It's disappointing to see this service that so many people love go down a sad Friendster-like uptime death spiral.

This has to get fixed or some other hipster thing will come along and these guys will only be able to blame themselves. Assuming the service comes back up, you can follow my meaningless chatter at http://www.twitter.com/daveofdoom

He also happens to be a U.S. patent holder and a workaholic. Technology is his best friend and mortal enemy.
