It was nice to meet you few days ago on oovoo during Laura's session, it's a pity we didn't have much time to talk. I added you on Twitter (you find me @vascellari) and right now I'm watching you live @podcamptoronto. Actually it would be could to send you live questions via twitter during your presentation! Have a nice day! Andrea Hi Tommy!

At the moment, it looks like the only places your name appears on your site are in the domain name and page titles. Obviously those elements count a lot on search engines, but the text is important too. You name's not even on your bio page anywhere, and it's only kind on your contact page. It's almost like you're shy -- which we all know isn't the case. :) Beyond solving the Twitter-on-top problem, this would also fend off any future problem with other sites -- especially sites that you don't have a specific relationship with.

In my opinion, mass exodus will only occur when something better than Twitter comes along. Same thing for any social media site. MySpace is still up alive and kicking. These technical upsets happened on Twitter from day 1. They annoy me too but I haven't found greener pastures. While in this day and age, social media sites are expected to be free and run flawlessly, people aren't exactly running from Twitter and other sites. I agree with you, Tommy, but Twitter is free.

And, if so, where would your destination of choice be? I'm hopeful that twitter will iron out these issues soon.

I also didn't want my Twitter page outranking my website and other various things on Google. I have to concur with Tommy.

Tommy, are you sure you want to be going out on a limb and criticizing other web services’ downtime? :-)
