Twitter Fail Whale! I CAN HAS ZERO TWEETS!

Update 3:36PM 2010 June 15
This is getting more and more amusing LOL!!!!!!!
It’s been hours since Twitter went down and went back to normal for like just a few seconds and then went down again. The whole process repeated itself resulting in repeating tweets being posted with the explanation of MAINTAINANCE job being done at this time.
The amount of tweets that amused me through out this Twitter Fail Whale Period entertained me to the max i must say.
Stupid Twitter with a whole bunch of loyal faithful users Haha. ALL NOOBS! Including me.
I love Twitter as much as how i hate it when it goes down.
LOL. Random. Bye!
新浪微博 Sina Twitter-like Microblogging Platform – WeiBo
May 24th
Sometimes, it’s not a bad move getting people’s idea and starting off from there building something similar with extra features added on.
Twitter have been an international phenomenon in recent years with 75 Million users users in early 2010.
then, a few Twitter-like service have emerged from China/Taiwan with everything translated to Chinese/Mandarin and before they could actually make it big, the great wall of China denied them straight leaving these services out of reach for the massive internet users from China.
In August 2009, China’s web portal giant Sina.com 新浪 launched a beta version of microblogging service that is similar to Twitter – Weibo 新浪微博. As of early 2010, Sina’s CEO have revealed that there are already 5 Million registered users in total using the service.
Looking at the growth of the service with more users registering each day, Weibo is on its way to to bring Social Media to the next level in China. With China’s population growing thus increasing the numbers of internet users at a rapid rate each day, i wonder how big will Weibo become.
Famous Individuals on Weibo
Celebrities on Weibo
Just like Twitter, the massive amounts of signups by famous celebrities/individuals on Weibo did quite the magic in getting the numbers up, but as long as China is standing firm along with “THE GREAT (FIRE)WALL OF CHINA”, there’ll be limited expanding space for Weibo 新浪微博.
Twitter VS Weibo : the most followed users
Media on Weibo
Personally, i prefer following Chinese Celebrities more than the Western ones, so i do hope that Weibo 微博 will make it big in the next few years, but of course, i’ll still be active on Twitter as that’s where all my friends are.
Anyhow, 关注我吧!
Here’s a very up-to-date list of all the Web 2.0 and social-networking sites that are not accessible in China:
Facebook
Twitter
YouTube
Posterous blogs
Blogger blogs (a.k.a. Google’s Blogspot service)
WordPress free blogs
Typepad blogs
LiveJournal blogs
Opera blogs

DailyMotion
ImageShack

iTalkWhoa is here!!
Apr 5th
Being told about this whole new thing by TM that features a platform combining multiple social tools/softwares/programs together, it actually reminds me of some certain project that surfaced not long ago.
The next thing i did was signing up this new service and explore about it. Filled with curiosity, i was delighted that there’s an amount of RM5 for free that was accredited into my account after i successfully registered myself.
Made my way to the main page after logging on into the platform and started looking around for the buttons and toolbars exploring the different functions.
Well, presented in front of me was a pretty straight forward user interface with the few main tabs on the side with a toolbar on top filled with buttons. Emails, Contacts, Calendar and Notes, Twitter and SMS were on the side
and you know what?
The very first thing i did was clicking on the Twitter tab and almost immediately, the right side of the screen shows the Twitter page and for a second i was wondering where and how to add my Twitter account till i found this credential button.
Not too bad as it was pretty responsive and loads a bit smoother compared to some certain project i’ve mentioned above which makes me wonder is it related to this.
Anyway, I went on and updated my Twitter status announcing to the whole world that this month is a good month and the process of updates was fast where i managed to trace my status straight away on twitter.com!
The next thing i played around with was the SMS function on iTalkWhoa. Spent quite some time while adding the number and soon i somehow managed to add in my own number to try out the SMS feature.
am happy to say that i’m pretty satisfy with the speed of sending out the SMS, I received the SMS on my phone the next few seconds that is!
Apart from both Twitter and SMS, i have yet to try the other features and up till now, i’m still quite okay with the whole idea of collaborating multiple social media tools together in a same platform.
Though it’s not something new, but i still love the idea of sending SMS through my computer to my friend/family and seeing that i SMS a lot with my girl, i would probably frequent this feature a lot.
Till then, do head to iTalkWhoa.com and try out the newly built platform which contains multiple social media features for you to Connect and Collaborate with your friends and family. After all, its free and you’ll get RM5 upon registration, so no harm trying right?
At the end of the day, i can’t say and judge on behalf of you, it’s all up to you whether this whole thing appears to be WHOA or not. Till then!! Cheers =)
Whoa? Yes? No?
