"Your true potential lies way, way down in the depths of your soul… in the pit of your stomach, past your knowledge, beyond your nervousness, and buried under your fears and anxieties. As hidden as it may be, it is still there. I know it’s there because I’ve felt it before, and I know it’s there in others too because I’ve seen others perform miracles. There is a faint glow of unparalleled potential in all of us, and when we find it — it shines."

Issues I see with Apple and Twitter Integration

Twitter is still experiencing scalability issues as evident by my own personal use in which I keep getting errors every now and then.

What makes Apple believe that Twitter can comfortably handle the additional load of planned integration is beyond my understanding…

Stories circulating around related to Apple handing Twitter the keys to it’s iOS kingdom seem to carry significant weight in my opinion/experience. Twitter is the clear winner here in my eyes, but not necessarily the overall winner.

Apple, in my opinion, was thinking along the right lines but ended up taking the shortcut.
