Perhaps it’s a sign of growing pains (good pains!), but a number of twitterers (i guess it’s a nicer term than “twits”) have mentioned that twits are not appearing in their twitter stream…which could be a concern for some, especially as twitters @ other users and direct messages are fast replacing email and IM for a number of the users.<\/p>\n

I was a little surprised that some conversations seemed to be ending mid stream, till I went to the individual twitter stream (typically twitter.com\/(username) ) and saw the continuation of our conversation there.<\/p>\n

So, if that chatty blonde suddenly stops chatting, go over to her twitter page and see if she’s replied.<\/p>\n

I’d also be prepared just in case “she” is a gold farmer\/credit card collector over in Russia or China too…<\/p>\n

As a form of consolation, twitter has posted an update that they’re recovering missing twits and will be inserting them into your twitter stream. If you’re a heavy volume twitter user however, it might be faster to check individual pages before the torrent or updates pushes the re-inserted twits off your archived pages.<\/p>\n

Oh yes, Twitter<\/a> gets my vote for “digital crack” for the more social among us. I think the Type As and the hack-and-slashers will be still hypnotized by Kongregate<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
