Twitter woes

I had to remove my Twitter feed from the sidebar. Twitter, in case you don’t know, is a service that lets you write mini blog posts (140 characters or fewer). You can use them to post quick updates on what you’re doing and how you’re feeling. Other people can subscribe to your Twitter feeds, and you can post the feed in your blog. Or at least you’re supposed to be able to do that. Increasingly, Twitter had been slowing my blog until it basically wouldn’t load anything but the background and part of the sidebar.

This isn’t a new problem, and Remy Sharp’s post from 2007 shows, and Remy does offer a solution, so I hope to have the Twitter feed back in the sidebar soon. But it would be nice if Twitter fixed the problem at their end.
