Even if people are hearing their friends talk badly about Twitter's constant downtimes, it still may spark their interest enough to create an account. <br><br>Also, I think it's still fairly safe to say that Twitter is the only microblogging site that has really caught on outside of the early adopters/tech-inclined group. Out of my "real life" friends, none are on FriendFeed, Plurk or Identi.ca. <br><br>And last, but certainly not least, any site whose "our site has crapped out" graphic becomes a celebrity is certainly not going anywhere. Long live the Fail Whale!VitakThu, 10 Jul 2008 11:29:58 -0000http://www.socialtimes.com/2008/07/if-a-thought-leader-told-you-to-jump-off-a-cliff/#comment-1575022I was just talking with someone at FriendFeed about this at lunch today - how difficult it is to mesh the various conversations that are happening all over the place into one coherent narrative. <br><br>This is one of the things that Disqus is trying to do, I think, and it always seems to come back to data portability.Jason PrestonTue, 08 Jul 2008 18:36:11 -0000http://www.socialtimes.com/2008/07/if-a-thought-leader-told-you-to-jump-off-a-cliff/#comment-1575021Great post!GuyTue, 08 Jul 2008 11:12:18 -0000
