Too many clicks. I like Twitter but until they move it from the Ruby on Rails to a more stable platform, it's going to have problems. I think they'll survive for the reasons you stated above - the biggest reason being that people are lazy. I played around with Plurk but just didn’t like the way it was laid out. Too many clicks.

That would be an excellent metric of its ultimate success or failure. It certainly would be interesting to know the ratio of dead accounts to active and follow it over time.

The data mining alone could be netting billions for them. It also helps that it is often broken, We want what we can not get. Twitter being broken just enhances how much we talk about it and keep it top of mind. I think Twitter will have the same performance problems for a while. The performance problems will stop when Twitter goes down one time and we all boycott it for 24 hours. The bottom line is that I use Twitter because it benefits me.
