scoble is a big crybaby. this is the difference between a hacker and a non-hacker. a hacker at twitter described a scaling problem in purely technical terms--the load on their servers is worst when a lot of updates are generated, and a lot of updates are generated when people with a lot of followers tweet in rapid succession (among other things). http://dev.twitter.com/2008/05/youve-got-qs-weve-got-as.html http://dev.twitter.com/2008/05/youve-got-qs-weve-got-as.html a non-engineer takes this purely objective statement of technical fact and turns it into a personal affront. twitter did not "blame" scoble. they stated the facts. scoble chose to be offended (wrongly, imo).
