Boycott of Twitter scheduled for tomorrow
Disgruntled Twitter users are planning a boycott of the service tomorrow, May 21st. According to one of the organizers, Andrew Dobrow (@anjrued), he and others have been frustrated with Twitter’s frequent outages. “As a result, a bunch of us Twitter power users were using FriendFeed to discuss a way to hit Twitter where it hurts in order to send a message to the powers that be.” Some like Jennifer Leggio (@mediaphyter) believe the boycott will be self-defeating. “We get what we pay for. Unless those boycotting have made significant financial contributions to the server upkeep of Twitter I really don’t want to hear it from them.” Do you think a boycott of Twitter is constructive or not?

Boycotting Twitter really won’t solve the problem. I also blogged about this. It’s not as if the staff doesn’t know what issues they have with Twitter. And just a few peeps aren’t going to make it change either. I personally think one should respect the fact that Twitter is a free service.
