    To Tweet or not to Tweet, that's not an option 12/03/2009 09:21:00

    Is it about time you made a Tweet?
    I'm writing this column for one simple reason: Once I get it written then the next time someone says to me "I don't get Twitter, it seems kinda stoopid to me. What is it all about?" I can direct them to this polemic and save my breath.

    Social networks all over the map on reliability 24/02/2009 08:53:00

    That Twitter had more downtime last year (84 hours) than any of 15 social network sites measured by an uptime monitoring service should surprise no one: The site's "fail whale" is so famous it was just featured in the New York Times.

    Why would Twitter limit the number of searches a user may conduct -- a typical, relatively new user, such as me?
    Two Twitter questions have been nagging at me: Why on Earth would Twitter limit the number of searches a user may conduct -- a typical, relatively new user, such as me, not some piggy third-party app or bot?
