Comments on: Scaling Twitter for the masses (from a technical perspective)

Building application scale is the key to SaaS and Cloud Computing. Twitter's single-thread application needs some re-thinking in order to meet the demand of it's users.

You CNET guys are ridiculous as far as your obsession to Twitter goes. There are so many interesting start-ups out there, but since you all find twitter so gosh darn fun, that's all that's ever talked about.

Not saying it's not important, but really. I'm a college student and you know how many people I know (including myself) that use twitter? 0. None. We have facebook for status updates. That's all. Simple as that. Twitter doesn't even have a revenue model (yet- or at least one that I've heard of).

I'm not bashing on you personally or anything, just some coverage of other tech startups and other technologies (eg. the massive amount of live video providers popping up) would be nice once and a while.

Where did you ever see me say Twitter was important? I think it's weird and kind of stupid (though interesting). Did you read the last paragraphs?

I listen about Twitter so much. But i didn't found anything interested there. I don't think so why are you giving preference. And your information cud help developer not for users.
