I'm just a little surprised by it. Today is the first time I've looked at Twitter. The whole world is all excited about it, and I drilled around a bit, watched a couple of "howto" videos and read some help pages, and, well, twitter is kind of a pile of crap. It's slow, ugly and doesn't really do much. It's not much more than an overblown electronic post-it note collection. I guess I was expecting something a little more polished; this looks like something some guy tossed together over a weekend.
The fact that it's been 4 hours and my account still only shows me following the very first thing I added tells me that they're having very serious scaling problems.
