Twitter Boycott: Declare your independence from Twitter on July 4
UPDATE: Please read today's post where I explain my rationale in calling for a boycott.
, an app we all love (or love to hate), has its share of glitches. For a while, we all overlooked those because, as you know, love covers a multitude of sins. No longer.
Twitter's "twouble's" have morphed from being a mere annoyance to an outright aggravation. Despite the fact the app is free to use (there are plenty of apps that are free to use...and they work!), Biz and Ev have had plenty of time to get it fixed. And they haven't.
It's time fans of Twitter express some tough love by joining in a 24-hour boycott - a "twittercott" - starting at 12:00 a.m., July 4th. Let's declare our independence from Twitter by not using it the entire day. We send a message by NOT sending messages. Get it? If enough of us were to participate it would be a shot heard round the world wide web!
For the serious junkies, there are other options available that will at least get you by until the boycott is over, Plurk and Friend Feed.
NOTE: I have no desire to see Twitter fail. I just want it to work! It seems to me a boycott is one way we can express our dissatisfaction. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Please leave a comment and indicate whether you're joining the boycott or not and why. Thanks!
