Very cool. Now it only needs an API, IM backend and SMS'ing ;) Twitter should hire Yariv :p

#22hm, not working for me, I hit "Send" and nothing .... Maybe this means the start of blog postings like "Why is Twoorl Down?!?!" and "How to Fix Twoorl's Send Problem"
Twoorl is broken in IE and FF3 I believe.
I hope such blog posts start appearing. It means Twoorl will have hit prime time :)

Sadly Twitter is now staffed by Scala guys who's enthusiasm for Scala gets in the way of their ability to consider Erlang.

#24I wonder if slashdot has got a form for this sort of thing yet ;) Your twitter architecture will fail due to: ( ) Database replication issues ( ) Inability to prevent spam (x) Immaturity of the libraries in your chosen language ...
Immaturity? Erlang is far more mature and tested than most language runtimes we use.
Why do people keep assuming Erlang is "new"?

It was meant to be a lighted joke about how so many people are proposing ways to fix twitter it reminds me of slashdot a few years ago where people were trying to fix spam and they started responding to each suggestion with a list of flaws with Xs next to the ones that applied in that case. I'm not making a point about erlang, i dont really know anything about erlang, but maybe i touched a nerve so i apologise.

I got it. Downmodding your original post was silly.

The difference is that you can't benchmark Ron Paul, George Bush, Barack Obama, and John McCain. (You can look at voting records.)
If comparing languages was all about benchmarking, wouldn't we all be just using assembler?
Well, there are function points/LOC. I guess you don't want to go only on voting records either. But they are important. Unquantifiables are important too.

#28I can't log in again after having logged out. If I am putting in the wrong password it is not notifying me in anyway. It just takes me back to the public timeline. There is no way to retrieve the password.
