The good news for Twitter is that I as well as many others that I follow and connect with have not (and inexplicably) cannot/willnot leave despite my new found hatred for flying whales. I know there has been people leaving, but I haven't seen it in my follow groups. If we have toughed it out this long I think the majority will wait it out at this point. What this means to Twitter is bring in the right people (John Adams et al), use the new funding and put all the technology problems to bed.

One thought though…if Twitter no longer has any technical problems to post about I expect the volume of Tweets to drop dramatically, which will implicitlt help fix the problem….hmmmm.

In addition to the new funding and management support from Jeff and Bijan, Twitter has also recently hired some large scale computing heavy hitters to solve the architecture problem. John Adams is the new Director of Operations. He was interviewed by @techcrunch recently and discussed this very problem and some of what he'll do to solve it.

Let's hope this finally gets them over the hump so we can all stop writing blog posts about how poorly Twitter is behaving.

I agree, Mark. They need to fix this thing once and for all.
