Paul Chaney is upset with Twitter!
In fact, he’s so upset that he is urging users of the service to boycott it on July 4th to try and force improvements!
The Fail Whale makes an appearance each time the service is down, and has appeared often during the past few months.
One wonders when the service is going to get its act together, especially with the splash made in June by new rival Plurk, and the launch in recent days of Identi.ca!
Already users on Plurk are moving away from Twitter, claiming that the service is more reliable, and much more fun!
I’ve tried Identi.ca, but find it a pale imitation of Twitter.
A new Facebook group has been formed to promote the cause.
What do you think? Can action such as a boycott force change?
Should users accept a ‘what you see is what you get’ attitude from social media platforms?
Does the fact that the service is free at present make any difference?
I’d like to hear your feedback…
