Twitter is Over Capacity


I just received this message as I tried to refresh my Twitter page: "Twitter is over capacity. Too many tweets!"

I completely agree with Gawker when it said that "the service makes intelligent people prone to blurting stupidity"; however, unlike Gawker, I don't agree that this is "wonderful." I'm convinced that people tweet even when they have nothing to say just to stay top-of-mind among their followers. At least half of it is total clutter, even among the most informative Twitter users. Pretty cynical, I know.
