Twitter users have grumbled about ‘missing’ tweets or messages that don’t appear in their timelines after it’s been sent. And the noise about Twitter’s frequent downtimes is getting louder with users frustrated at not being able to use Twitter’s services. Hence the ever increasing cases of micro-blogging platform migration from Twitter to Plurk and other services.
Despite the lack of reliability of Twitter, especially over the past few weeks, users are still keeping faith with it, myself included. Call us addicts? Maybe. That’s why a service such as Twiddict could come in handy for those times when Twitter is down.
It’s like a holding place for your tweets when Twitter is broken. Twiddict will constantly ping the Twitter API to see if the service is up again and sends your messages as soon as it’s ok.
I’ve yet to try it. Usually when Twitter goes down, I’d 1) give up and stay quiet until it’s back up again, or 2) Plurk!, but as Mashable reports, it’s worrying when an application or service capitalizes on Twitter’s frequent service disruptions.
