I really loved clunky twitter when it launched. It felt like a kind of collective consciousness... like you could suddenly be mentally connected at a superficial level with users geographically near-by. When it started being more about influence,famous people and ads that initial excitement wore off but I stuck with it for a while. Then they started blocking third party API access and clients... and that kind of ruined it entirely for me.
