I'm just looking fwd to getting all my mates on Jaiku or whatnot so I can abandon twitter forever. The total lack of connection with their customers over the last 6 months has been ridiculous. I've had my fill, this SMS withdrawal issue was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back, in my case. GOODBYE TWITTER! (soon) Btw, can anyone supply me with about 10 Jaiku invites for my friends? :) Not me…. I’m just looking fwd to getting all my mates on Jaiku or whatnot so I can abandon twitter forever.
