Twitter was down? I didn't realise. I didn't even realise that it was up for months. That's how relevant it actually is if you put it aside: not at all.
@jensscholz I think I might uninstall the Twitter app from my phone at the start of the new year; I haven't accessed it in months. The only use I would have of it for now is to access "news" when something large happens. Since I have to log in to even see any tweets, I just don't go there first anymore.
@nosbig I don't think that even for the fastest news updates Twitter is the place to go anymore. Didn't miss anything important the recent 4 months and i would guess that the other channels that emerged in the last weeks are totally able to cover anything that comes up.
