And I I keep on Twittering

I'm normally not one to easily get wrapped up in these Internet fads but every once in a while I cave. It happened with Facebook and now with Twitter, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, run while you still can because its quite addictive. I'm not convinced that Twitter will have enough to go for the long run, but it does capitalize on its simplistic approach. If you have no idea what Twitter is its like away messages the Web 2.0 way. The idea is simple you you describe what you are doing in 140 characters or less. You may be asking yourself "That's it?" Of course my response would be "umm... sort of", there are obviously other more social aspects to the service such as having friends and/or followers, putting favorite tags on Tweets, and other things of social networking nature. The reason I bring this up is that I saw on Waxy Links a mini-interview with one of the Twitter developers, check it out here. Basically goes over how he joined the Twitter team and how the rapid growth of the community has made him think of the performance of Ruby.
