Next Up? IM

As folks point out in the comments of the previous post, IM service with Twitter is currently taking a cat-nap. The reason for this again is rapid growth—IM was not made for *that* many friends! Twitter overwhelmed the basic model of instant messaging very quickly so tonight Blaine is going to dream up a more distributed approach to how Twitter interacts over IM. If you are a regular user of Twitter via IM, we just wanted to let you know that it is next in line for better-ification.

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SACRED, REMOVE THE DAMN TAG LINE FROM YOUR FEED.
Twitter is a global community of friends and strangers answering one simple question: What are you doing?

I'll be happier using Twitter through IM again (Gtalk via iChat), as I'm not as likely to use the web interface.

I would have thought that for the Jabber bit, you'd get away with running a local Jabber server, possibly with multiple 'twitter' accounts.

Okay, I removed the tagline from the feed. Didn't realize it was in there. Filled out one too many boxes when I was setting up the blog!

Hi Twitter Team,

We are considering to implement Twitter for a Web2.0 event in Singapore on the 24th March. It's called Nexus 2007: Leading in times of Disruptive Change. (http://www.nexus2007.com/)

We intend to introduce a Community and Interactive feel throughout the conference by utilizing Twitter's Service. Nat Tortington from Oreilly will be there.

I understand that currently the IM service isn't working well, but I really hope that it'll be up and working by tomorrow. We are also helping our attendees signup on Twitter in the Registration Counter.

Watch out on
http://twitter.com/nexus2007 for live updates.

Cheers,
Chern Jie
