twitter has me throttled again so freak twitter

Last tweet only got 15 impression. I don’t give a dang about that. But while other websites are loading with speed, twitter is slow loading with part not loading. When that happens it generally means that one of the hate groups they have given the keys to the Mercedes to has hit the throttle button on a user. Some people think twitter is being sluggish for everyone but generally that is not true, though sometimes it is. Their servers are not always the most robust.

I am not saying I am going to stop doing twitter. I’ve said that before and then I start back tweeting.

Regardless I am not going to sit on twitter and wait 3+ minutes for a page to load. I have awful dsl so in the past I have just automatically assumed that was the cause of the slow load times. But then I started testing how other sites load when twitter is being so slow. When their load time is fast and twitter is slow and also the tweets have an extra low impression rate, that almost always means the user is being throttled and the slow load times are intentional. That means twitter is intentionally taking three minutes off my life while waiting for their freaking page to load. That is not acceptable.

So, when that is going on do not expect to see too many tweets from me. The truth is I need to spend more time putting content on my websites and less time tweeting anyway.
