Boycotting Twitter Could Lighten The Load

As I begin to write this the Fail Whale is indicating Twitter’s ongoing problem — ‘Twitter is over capacity’. It is the frequent outages that Twitter suffers that has prompted Paul Chaney, Internet Marketing Director at Bizzuka, to arrange a 24 hour boycott of Twitter on July 4th.

Paul Chaney explains his idea:

It’s time fans of Twitter express some tough love by joining in a 24-hour boycott – a “twittercott” – starting at 12:00 a.m., July 4th. Let’s declare our independence from Twitter by not using it the entire day. We send a message by NOT sending messages. Get it? If enough of us were to participate it would be a shot heard round the world wide web!

As the new UK series of Big Brother looms all the affiliated hype and nonsense increases online. This hype seems more intense this year with the increasing popularity of social networking websites such as Facebook. Although this just could be because I have not sought such enthusiasm on the web with previous Big Brother series.

You may ask, “why I did this year?”. Good question, but here is the reason:

A couple of nights ago I was thinking about the power of social networking and how to explore this. Then it hit me — use social networking to influence the outcome of a reality television show which relies on viewers’ votes.

I stumbled across this script on userscripts.org that claims to do the following:

“This script is for anyone who is sick and tired of having to navigate through all the bullshit and spam that has been filling Facebook lately. The purpose of this script is to remove any mention of a third party app on all of Facebook. This script will greatly change your facebook experience. This script truly unfucks Facebook.”
