Okay Twitter you have your money, now could you fix it please?
Great news for Twitter, they’ve secured more funding:
Project: Runway
Twitter will become a sustainable business supported by a revenue model. However, our biggest opportunities will be worth pursuing only when we achieve our vision of Twitter as a global communication utility. To reach our goal, Twitter must be reliable and robust. Private funding gives us the runway we need to stay focused on the infrastructure that will help our business take flight. We will continue hiring systems engineers, operators, and architects, as well as consultants, scientists, and other professionals to help us realize our vision.

From the people who have signed on there must be confidence in Twitter and the business model, however…
Would you fix Twitter now, please?
We’ve been at 20 requests/hour on API clients for about a week now. XMPP is still off. Guys, really, quit with the sunshine and address the real problem. Twitter is working its way towards being marginalized. Sure we’re not leaving in droves, but FriendFeed is getting a lot of attention…
Yes, I’m waiting for the next big thing, but I also see microblogging as a part of that picture. FriendFeed, well that could survive without Twitter. We enjoy short asides and links. We enjoy broad conversation. We don’t need Twitter for that.
Well, Twitter, you gonna step up or what?
