  Well, Jesse -- you sparked a pretty good debate judging from the show today. I know you have some comments to add in rebuttal... want to share?

  If you guys share your rebuttals here, I'd be happy to respond. No sense
  sending a rebuttal to myself though ;-)

  Good point. I can't access seesmic at work (fail) but when I can, I will
  post my comments!
  
  @thomallen @libel_vox ... any comments from you?

  The points were:
  
  1) Twitter is not alone in facing outages ( http://moourl.com/a18cs ) or API changes ( http://moourl.com/f9i7o ). Developers who base their living on platforms they have no control over are on extremely shaky ground and should have their expectations set accordingly.
  2) Twitter bashing was trendy among self described 'A' listers more than a month ago ( http://moourl.com/w7w3h ). However, Twitter's issues remain only a minor inconvenience to a majority of users. The reason that users have not flocked - en masse - to another service is because there is not enough pain to be bothered to do so. Why is there not enough pain? Because the features reduced or restricted are non-core items affecting the lowest number of people who consume the highest number of resources ( http://moourl.com/moxgq ).
  
  The wringing of hands and gnashing teeth of over twitter often casts the service as an essential public utility. It's as if its downtime is rendering entire cities without water or electricity. There is no doubt that twitter is useful in certain contexts. But not being able to tell me about your latest blog post AT THIS VERY SECOND is not one of them. Perspective is essential.
  
  Those that are attempting to build mission critical applications requiring that kind of utility-like guaranteed uptime ( a commercial version of http://moourl.com/g3rwl perhaps?) would recognized that's not twitter's strength - yet.
