Our time is valuable. If Twitter markets itself as a quick and easy way to keep in touch and I have to refresh and retry several times to accomplish one simple task, it is not worth our time.

Similar to Livejournal Plus accounts in that you have advertising on the page for more services free. Yes, Twitter is free, but so is just about every other social networking tool worth using, so if they want to stay usable, they'll have to improve performance. This means, bring in advertisers so the service can stay free and also improve with the new cashflow. Why doesn’t Twitter try something new and have voluntary sponsorship for accounts.
