I was reading Robert Scoble’s blog, “Is it time to reconsider Google Buzz vs Facebook or Twitter?” and he got a valid point there comparing Google’s Buzz to Twitter and Facebook. Lately I feel that Twitter can’t cope with its growth and is down more often than you could count, sometimes for a few minutes, and sometimes for hours. The current downtime (or over capacity) I suppose is due to the Worldcup, but this is not an excuse as Twitter should have foreseen this and scale their system to accommodate those spikes.

I think Twitter is the best thing that has comes along since Slice Bread (maybe not) , but seriously in order to move on, they have to scale up and cope with the demand or they will slowly be loosing steam to alternatives like Buzz.
