Twitter IM down May 23rd-May24th
Hey all,
Due to some exceptional traffic over our IM services, we have to shut down IM services for the evening. We look to restore the system to full health this weekend.
We'll keep you updated here: http://blog.twitter.com/2008/05/too-m...

Inappropriate?I'm really sorry guys, but this is the best update I have for you right now :( The team is aware that you guys would really like an official update, and we plan to do it very soon. Thanks for being patient just a little bit longer!1 Comment

If you are aware, then why does it take so much to get a real update? Team meetings? Consensus? Consulting some voodoo? I'm with scionguy below, I'm recommending the competitors for now (and I'm sad that it's come to this). -
Inappropriate?I sure am glad I gave up on Twitter months ago when I could see they were lying about IM being a "top priority". For anyone still hanging on even though they have no plans to ever bring it back, the IM services at Pownce (and any other Twitter competitor) work just fine and their customer service doesn't suck like Twitter's.
I’m glad I didn't wait on Twitter
-
Inappropriate?I think it's becoming clearer that Twitter doesn't intend to bring IM support back, and is delaying announcing that for as long as possible.
I’m a noid.

Inappropriate?I think it's most likely that the Twitter corporation has decided IM and Track are too valuable to let people use. They'll stonewall and delay until people give up and/or forget about it, at which point they'll re-introduce the features as paid "premium" services. Or so I predict.
Laconica, here I come...
I’m heading for identi.ca instead

My Linux User Group just started hosting their own Laconica Public timeline. Very cool.

Inappropriate?Hi guys, we've posted an official update about IM here:
http://status.twitter.com/
Sorry it took as long as it did.

Inappropriate?Thanks for the update, and so long Twitter. Gonna move onto a product that integrates all the necessary features and is a little more honest up-front. Maybe someday Twitter will be an option, but for now I'm moving to better pastures.
I’m happy that I can sever the ties.

Inappropriate?What on earth is going on with this??? Twitter just went offline on Google Talk six months ago, and has never re-appeared since. It doesn't even appear on the devices page any more. What's happened with it? What's the official explanation?
I’m frustrated

Completely agree, reading the original post it was meant to be down for a short period of time, now almost 1-year later still no update/fix/explanation, I have to agree with Waffles that Twitter is obviously not very concerned with its users or their experience using the service, or lack there of in this case!

Inappropriate?This isn't solved, it's dead. There's a big difference.
Twitter is running by a bunch of scumbags who don't respect their users.
I’m pissed.
