Gotta' Love Twitter

[ Sigh ]

I've made recent posts about my fondness of the popular site, Twitter. However, I've been recently irked by their update feeds (or lack thereof). I've placed my Twitter "feed" on the home page of this site, yet it seems to go out quite often.

What's Twitter Up To?

I've read some articles in the past that indicate Twitter will be moving away from Rails (the popular framework the site was developed on). It appears this plan was pushed by their inability to properly scale the application to handle the number of users and updates that take place every second, minute, and hour of each day.

End Rant

I'm not sure where I was headed with this, aside from unleashing a small frustration I'm having. I don't want to have to rework the front page to suit Twitter's inconsistency, but it may have to be done. I'll give them a chance though.
