Replies are still down on Twitter. To me, this basically makes Twitter useless. It’s a communications tool that doesn’t allow you to communicate with anyone, only yell into the wind.

These replies have been down or a few days now, and while Twitter assures everyone they are working on it, a lot of folks are getting fed up. I am also looking like an ass now for praising Twitter’s stability the past few weeks and thinking it had turned an important corner.

It did. Unfortunately, then it made 3 more turns in the same direction…

Right now Twitter is directing all users to go to the Twitter search site Summize to see their replies. This is ridiculous Twitter, just buy the goddamn thing already and make it “Twitter Search” or some such – but please, just integrate it with the site. I have enough tabs open already, I don’t want another one just because you can’t do your jobs.

It definitely seems that people are also not using the @ replies nearly as much since they are not working on site — so even if I do go to Summize, I won’t find much

Quite a few services now have the ability to search Twitter, including Summize and FriendFeed, yet Twitter still has no search. Now, with no ability to see replies, Twitter looks even worse.

Twitter: Ur doin it wrong. You just got all that new money. Buying another company may not be the best solution, but it is the quickest. Users are pissed off. Just look at the shirts they’re making — and the clubs!
