Twitter is not a public utility. People should really be looking into OpenMicroBlogging, and decentralization/federation with systems you set up and control, such as Laconica. This allows you to control the namespace, and downtime becomes your own problem.

    It's not ludicrous. The twitter competitors like laconica aren't really an alternative, because the users you are trying to reach are all using twitter.
