Is Twitter Dying?

Tonight on Seesmic I asked the question ‘Is Twitter Dying?’. I got a good amount of replies to my question, most of them being positive and people hope that the service stays alive. My true reason behind asking the question was to see what people really thought. My hope is that Twitter does continue to fix the scalability and architecture issues and comes back stronger than ever. I really like the community I have built and would have to have to build another one elsewhere. I have embeded the video from Seesmic, which also shows the entire conversation (the audio is low in my initial post).

I encourage you to leave me your thoughts on this, I am always looking to know what you have to say!

Cheers!

Tweet2Win – A reason to keep using Twitter

All of us that use Twitter are aware of the many issues plaguing the popular messaging network. A few weeks ago, a site was launched that has kept Twitter from going the way of friendster (read: abandoned). Tweet2Win has become a popular site among Twitter users: with weekly prize drawings for being active on Twitter, it is giving users an incentive to keep tweeting.

The site has a very simple sign-up for users to enter the weekly contest. Just this week, a referral system was launched for users to name the Twitter user that referred them to the site. The prizes are great, and Tweet Tees has been a consistent sponsor giving away their popular shirts.

The site has a lot of promise, and as Twitter grows, I believe that the sponsors and contest entries will too.
