This limit they have on their website usage is highly annoying.. They should of known having the Celtics VS Lakers and the World cup that records where going to be broken(tweeting wise) and as well as HIGH usage.. Plus this company Twitter Inc probably makes more money than Facebook. How come they cannot afford a better host? Oohh wait how about they just host themselves?
Twitter and why it sucks..

@Mr.Green yes I am as it is one of the most popular Social networking which means it should learn to hold more users as knowing it will gain tons of tweets/usage daily we should hardly see the error area.
And your weak for saying that usage doesn't count.. If FP was going slow everyone would complain..

I dislike how they only let people follow 2000 members since some people might want to follow more users.
But, I do notice Twitter to be down more compared to other sites I go to like Youtube, FB, etc.

Sooo the fact that they are getting over a million tweets a second (or something stupid like that) at normal times, and when it goes up by probably 25% they can't cope it's a problem?
Well, I'd like to see someone else build a site to cope with 1million database write/read requests a second!
Twitter don't make any money at the moment, they rely solely on sponsorship. 🙂

I heard on the news there are sponsored twetts in the search results from advertisers like Best Buy.

Site usage is not a valid reason why Twitter sucks. You should say their host sucks; not Twitter itself. If you're going to say Twitter 'sucks' just because it gets overloaded with the amount of people using it, then you probably don't know much about Twitter at all. I'd suggest coming up with reasons that are actually appropriate, such as froggyboy's reason:
It's all over the web. Try searching on Google:

Additionally, if you don't believe the 100000 sites saying so, you could try following over 2000 people yourself.

Did I not give you any evidence?

You can go ahead and believe what you want. If your ignorance keeps you from acknowledging the truth, then this conversation is over.

In actual fact, reading the ToS, and other documentation which are essential, before signing up is your responsibility and if you missed links going towards the "Following Rules and Best Practices" page, then its your issue.

I also find the 140 character limit kind of annoying. I think it be cool if they made the limit 160-200 characters.
