I'm kind of annoyed cause really, I enjoyed Twitter for the stuff I used it for, like keeping up with book releases and authors and all that. Plus it made it easy to follow projects and artists I like. Then muskrat had to roll his egotistical rear end in and burn the place down for literally no reason whatsoever, while losing 44 billion dollars. I guess he wanted to be cool and hip and with it, like the youngsters are today, and spent the gdp of a midsize country on that dumb, dumb idea.

I'll be amazed if the app or website is still working past this weekend. Earlier they had 50 something people trapped in the parking garage because the gate bar wouldn't raise because all the badges got turned off for everything. They were waiting on maintenance to come down with a sawzall to let em out.

I mean yea, it's basically Nero dancing and fiddling while the empire burns but it still bums me out to lose it.

So anyway, gimme a 5pc nug and a coke with lime please, no frosty this time.

I don't think it will go away. It's got a huge amount of momentum and unless something really compelling comes along for everyone to jump ship then it's more likely that he'll find some way that he can sell it off while saving face. He may get pennies on the dollar and it may go through a bit of a Tumblr doldrums but the user base is huge and quite active so someone is going to want to throw money at that. The real danger is him selling it to some sort of private equity firm who try part it up.

Will it even last that long? I mean, at some point, some degenerates are going to realize the severe lack of moderation and start bombing Twitter with The Worst CP Ever, forcing the federal government to shut it down faster.

...I assume certain corners of the Internet are gearing up for this if some of the more banal but horrible stuff I saw last night was any indication.

Holy poo poo Twitter really is going to die.

Was it twitter that can't do a cold start, so if it goes down once and only has a skeleton crew of boot-licking engineers, it'll stay down indefinitely? or was it facebook?

Twitter has zero cold start ability on paper, and they might have been able to manage it with the collective knowledge of the staff and support staff.

I agree. It'll keep humping along and probably get crappier and crappier but what will finish it off is the next shiny social media platform. Just like it always is.
