But, I think Twitter is pretty close to getting this whole scaling issue fixed, it's possible that they may be rewriting the service from the ground up with scaling in mind, once that is done everyone will stop their bickering and come back. I'm not as frustrated as many other people seem to be, I primarily use Twitter with my cell phone via SMS and usually don't even notice when the service goes down. I really wish track would come back but other then that I can only complain about the 4-5 times per month when I actually visit the web site and it's a little slow.
