I’ve just removed the Twitter badge from my blog. I’ve had Twitter’s Javascript badge in the sidebar, keeping an update on what I’ve been doing. It’s been hanging for hours today, causing my page to stop loading when it gets to the Twitter script. Sure there are ways I can prevent the script from hanging but what’s the point if all you end up with is no data being returned because Twitter isn’t responding to requests?

I really like Twitter and will continue to use it through the web interface, but I’m taking it off my blog until it’s able to stand up to the kind of weight that’s being pushed down on it.
