>It's easy to sign up for Twitter, it follows all of your expectations of how apps work

I always find it funny when I read things like that about twitter, because I honestly wanted to see what it was several times and I swear I could never figure it out. I know I am most likely an outlier, and yes, I have a Linux server sitting below my desk (my basement is way too damp).
