The other consideration is scalability and reliability. Twitter has
been subject to numerous feature disablements due to capacity issues,
as well as complete outages. Furthermore, Twitter does not appear to
be deployed in a distributed, highly-available architecture.
The Twitter *aggregation/attention model* is what is of great
interest, any merits of the specific service aside.
