I put this twitter badge on the top of this site a few months ago. It is a little javascript thingy that pulls my latest twitter update. I noticed it be slow more than a few times and then recently, Mika installed it as well and started bitching at the slowness of it. He has taken it off his site since then.
I am wondering, if Ev/Biz Stone (the blokes who started/have something todo with this company) use the same badges that we use. I don’t goto their sites often, but next time I get teh twitter slowness…I’ll check theirs to see if the same thing afflicts them.
Anyway, if you want to sign-up for my twitter updates, you can so it via SMS and receive these notices on your phone. Just sign-up at twitter.com and subscribe to my updates.
I have a JavaScript Twitter badge on my web site. I, like you, have noticed how S-L-O-W it was making the page load as it tried to connect to Twitter.
Today when It was going slow I checked the web site’s of the creators of Twitter and sure enough, theirs were just as slow.
I’m thinking of dropping Twitter for Jaiku now unless they can get it sorted out and speeded up.
