Twitter Paranoia

without comments

My New Avatar

OK, ali­ens are invad­ing my twit­ter feed

Or, after reach­ing 5000 tweets ran­ging in top­ics from Eurovision’07 to Neil Finn Revival Meet­ings, my post­ings are swal­lowed by the great twit­ter engine. Does Ms Gale have a restrain­ing order out on me? More likely Paul Foster’s mobile phone cost centre owner in the UK.

Maybe it’s the lolcat speak that con­fuses some, for­cing them to reach out to the Urban Dic­tion­ary for translation.

Is it the weird 3rd circle of hell that is Ruby on Rail’s Act­iveRecord outer and inner joins with time’d out quer­ies so as to unbur­den the backend? Or are tel­cos put­ting lim­its on the twit­ter +44 mobile SMS gate­way in Australia?

Who knows. It’s the Ber­muda Tri­angle of Twit­ter. Con­spir­acy The­or­ies abound.
