Rumor Of More Funding For Twitter, While They Admit Cluelessness

I've been trying to visit a Twitter page I was linked to for the past ~30 minutes. While the server eventually responds, I get a "something is technically wrong" message.

Yes, the service is free, but is it worthless? Possibly.

I still haven't found a Twitter replacement that accepts SMS messages and outputs as RSS. Any ideas? FriendFeed doesn't do that, does it?

This would be a great time for Google to quickly fix up Jaiku and open up the invites system a bit more.

Yeah... the annoyance is rising. I do feel a little bad about ranting when a
service is down, but it's crossing into a state of ridiculousness.

Meanwhile I've been avoiding twitter for over a week and am finding
friendfeed a decent replacement - for everything but the mobile stuff.
Someone is working on a mobile set up for FF though, check out this post
over at Louis Grays:

haven't tried it myself.

Sounds interesting. I kinda need SMS, because I've got an allotment of text messages per month, and I don't have a fancy phone with a data plan (like an iPhone).

I'm looking to have the SMS messages collected into a site, then output as an RSS feed - and then I can have a WordPress plugin grab those RSS feed items and post them to my blog. It simultaneously replaces, and relies on, Twitter.

Google also owns Grand Central, so I'm sure there's some neat Jaiku integration they could do. Then again, they also own Dodgeball, and that didn't go anywhere. Meh.
