A mobile phone text message-like website, which, for reasons unknown, gained in popularity.
A dangerous place filled with misunderstanding and hatred, fuelled by their arbitrarily-short message length.
They have succumbed to The Dark Side. Update: Elon Musk took over so it’s now a special kind of shitshow. It’s now called X.

Twitter >
On an old and soon to be spam-ridden account, I received a spam from a Twitter “user” (advertiser). They invited me by email using a standard Twitter feature.
Within that email, Twitter provides an opt-out link. But that opt-out link doesn’t actually work.
Twitter has these follower-spammers. Idiots who have a twitter account that advertises some junk or other. They follow people to try to get them to follow them. Pathetic.
I logged in to see if there was any kind of spam prevention, only to be given a notice that my email address was incorrect.
Well of course it is, I missed a character. But I already corrected it after I signed up! So I went to correct it again. And again. And again. The change doesn’t stick. Twitter is broken.
2009-05-10 update: It seems to have accepted my email address change now.
