So far at least. After much ballyhooing from friends, I joined Twitter yesterday. Bad move. For months I\u2019ve heard \u201cTwitter will change your life\u201d and \u201chumankind will never again be able to function without Twitter\u201d (although I seemed to be just fine without it). So I join, and find that the system has such massive dysfunction that it can\u2019t even upload a tiny avatar picture properly. And apparently, Twitter\u2019s been having this ongoing problem for at least three consecutive months, and still can\u2019t get a grip. I\u2019d normally blame myself and assume user error, but when I click the empty avatar box that has a question mark in it, I see my photo so I know it\u2019s in the system. It\u2019s Twitter\u2019s problem, not mine. <\/p>\n
To add to the fun, I\u2019m getting emails from friends saying that they know I\u2019m on Twitter, but can\u2019t find me. And on top of that, after the initial photo upload failed and I couldn\u2019t get back into my page, I redid my password and created a new one, just to be sure. So now my account oscillates between recognizing and not recognizing two different passwords. Yeah \u2014 Twitter sux in a big way.<\/p>\n
If anyone knows an avatar fix, gimme a holler.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
