Twit-Out Conversations. Join in!
In: web2.0
21 May 2008
Today is the Twit-Out! Thanks to all those who are participating. Over on FriendFeed, we are discussing many topics surrounding the Twit-Out. Robert Scoble suggested this Twit-Out FAQ thread for all your questions. Here’s a quick run-down of just some of the conversations:
- How you think Twitter can improve their service?
- Let’s talk about why we love Twitter so much. We put up with so much, yet we don’t hesitate to recommend it to others. Express yourselves
- Can we save Twitter with Open-Source?
- Who are Twitter’s competitors?
- What is your opinion of how Twitter handled this past week’s outages?
- Have you ever sent feedback to Twitter via Getsatisfaction? If so, do you think it works?
- Do you believe a potential solution is to build our own Twitter?
- Has The Twit-Out today persuaded anyone to totally stop using twitter?
- Would a decentralized Twitter work?
- 10 hours left of Twit-Out. How’s it going for you? Any withdrawal yet?
- 6 hours left in the Twit-Out. Do you all consider it a success or failure? Why or why not?
- With all the Extended, Intensive FF activity, why hasn’t it shut down or at least burped yet???
- On another note, has your producitivty increased now that you’ve closed Twitter for the day?
- Idea: Twit-Out the Soundtrack – What would be good songs to add? My additions: “Revolution” by The Beatles and “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” by Randy Newman (Final Soundtrack)
- What have you learned so far from the Twit-Out process?
To get a sense of what people are talking about, use this FriendFeed search. What are you waiting for? Join the discussion!
The Twit-Out is NOT out to get rid of Twitter, replace Twitter, or to even make Twitter look bad. Our purpose is to raise awareness, promote discussion, and to make Twitter even better. Twitter <3.

Using MojiPage and a pseudo-microblog has been an interesting learning experience, especially when my text message system went crazy and kept on sending the same post to the pseudo-microblog.

It works well so far. They are adding new features and it's getting better. I chose them mostly for their data portability options.
