I realize Twitter is all the rage on the Right. I love it and it's increasingly becoming one of my main sources for tips and news. But today most political Twitter users are probably thinking yesterday's primaries amounted to something of a #twitterfail.
And today is even worse.
One can only imagine what might happen as interest, usage and blog traffic goes through the roof in the fall, as it does in election years. And I don't even want to think of what would happen if we were at 2012.
If they can't manage and scale the application, people relying on it are going to find out they can't. And last night and today have not been good times for Twitter users following politics. Just sayin', since I'm now in a bad mood, any way! Heh!
I didn't have much trouble last night checking the returns but today Twitter's been awful!

Twitter was great last night for getting the latest numbers, but today it's been useless. Then again, if it was the other way around (down last night, fine today) we'd all be screaming conspiracy.
(psst... by the way, I think Smitty has a crush on you.)
