seriously, what the fuck?
http://twitter.com/search/users?q=john
http://twitter.com/search/users?q=david

other searches seem to work fine, but any with "john" or "david" in them give that error.

Twitter is a trend. Trends nowadays are fully controlled (or if they're not yet controlled, there's always someone who'd want to control them, given that the trend has enough followers).

well it's nice for getting news very quickly and sometimes earlier than from other media, but for normal "chatting"/"twittering" it's pretty useless..

> well it's nice for getting news very quickly

What you call news I call bollocks. If you want to be served bollocks very quickly, go to a gay brothel. There's no such thing as 'general news' for the 'general audience' (even though that's what the media is trying to sell us, right?). This makes sense once you've contemplated what 'news' really are about, and who they interest.

Imagine history, and then imagine how our days history would be written. Would it mention all the every-day news that we hear on the TV/other media? No. It wouldn't, because these events are really fucking unimportant and their only purpose is to steal 10 minutes of your attention from you.

Fuck Twatter.

I like twitter, I really do. I actually use it as a "news ticker" for a bunch of websites I have. You just post your crap whenever you want on twitter, and your sites loads it with some simple JavaScript/HTML code (no need to customize it, it uses the CSS of the final website).

Actually there was recently a gagging order on reporting some dodgy behaviour by an oil company. So the mainstream media could not report it. But the news spread by twitter and the order was lifted.

It could've been just as easily spread by del.icio.us. And it probably was.
It's a benefit of the medium of this international non-policed network, not some website for trendy fucks.
