This blog used to be “Like Twitter, just longer”, now it seemed more to be “Like Buzz, without aggregation.”

Twitter kills:
A teenage girl was electrocuted after dropping her laptop into the bath as she twittered in the tub.
Police said they believed Maria Barbu, 17, had tried to plug in her laptop with wet hands after the battery died during a long session on social networking site Twitter as she took a soak at her home in Brasov, central Romania.
She was found dead by her parents with the laptop lying next to her. (Source: Austrian Times)

I really should take note about this Twitpocalypse thing:
Twitpocalypse Not Now: Crisis Averted. Mostly.
As a few commenters have noted, and I’ve just confirmed, the popular Twitter app, Twitterrific, is completely broken right now due to API errors — at least the iPhone version. Some reports have said TweetDeck is facing similar problems.

Oh nos, Twitter is heading toward something similar to a Y2k bug. Very soon the unique identifier associated to each tweet will exceed 2,147,483,647. It’s at around 2,113,183,266 right now. That’s a site dedicated to this: http://www.twitpocalypse.com/
ProgrammableWeb explains:
The Twitpocalypse is Near: Will Your Twitter Client Survive?
Every tweet in Twitter’s system is uniquely identified by an integer value. For example, the system’s very first public tweet, “just setting up my twttr,” by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, is tweet number 20 (presumably tweets 0 through 19 were used for testing). The maximum signed 32-bit integer value for most database applications is 2,147,483,648.
Everyone should find some good shelter and hide. And consider food rationing too. And slow down your Twitters, we can just live a day longer.

The distribution of Twitter length, look everyone is cramping their messages into 140 characters and probably using quite a bit of abbreviations. I don’t see how imposing a character limit is supposed to be exactly innovative here. Twitter could probably do better if they increase the character limit.

You could start a blog as we did.

My first few blog posts, in perhaps a year.
Thanks to kahwee for inviting me to this, and more thanks to the designer of this WP theme. The Twitter-like interface makes a non-writer like me less intimidated when writing a blog post and gets me writing more naturally, perhaps due to years of Twittering.

i think past a certain point(and he’s clearly crossed it) and all he can do with his account is to just use it for broadcasting…unless he has lots and lots of groups in his tweetdeck(or whatever Twitter client he uses)
That graph is definitely come as a surprise to me. Normally when a character limit so small is imposed and the users are aware of it, I would have expected the graph to be heavy on the long side, but not at the very end.
This clearly shows that Twitter’s limit is forcing a lot of its users to abbreviate unnecessary, even to the extend to affecting the readability of the messages.
Twitter should have lifted the limit already, or impose a significantly larger limit, if they still have to impose limits to prevent users from yakking away too much, especially since SMS is not longer one of the key ingredients of Twitter.
