Internetsite of theWeek | Bangkok Post: tech

If you're into Twitter _ and who isn't? _ you may find the twitter.com site a bit flaky. No, let me rephrase that: you will find the twitter.com a bit flaky. It spends half your time throwing error messages at you and telling you all the things it can but won't do, at least not at the moment. Damned annoying.

I don't know if I'm doing you a service by introducing a slightly different Twitter site, called twaitter.com, because it too seems a bit flaky and slow.

I think the problem with both sites is the sheer volume of information they have to process, since people are Tweeting like there's no tomorrow.

Be that as it may, Twaitter.com offers you some things that you may find rather useful, and which twitter.com should  have thought of a long time go. Such as a button to find out if a given person is ``following'' you. But it does so much more, like the motto says _ ``When your Tweet means business''. It can translate Tweets, allow for multiple accounts, or allow multiple people to share one Twitter account for team work needs. It will track your RSS feeds, if you like, so that when you update your blog it will be Tweeted out immediately. It also allows you post your Tweets to Facebook, MySpace and all the others.

Twaitter will soon be getting a new name _ Gremlim. And, we hope, an entire room of new servers to cope with demand.  If you're a Twitter fan, and you know who you are, this is one site you'll definitely want to check out.
