Twitter: who needs reliability? We have graphic designers.

Back from my Great Alaskan Wedding/Vacation, I decided to finally get on Facebook. Because I'm an IM junkie (actually, a Pidgin junkie) I immediately installed the Twitter application so that I can tweet my Facebook status updates.

That's when I noticed that Twitter's gtalk/jabber IM interface is broken... and has now been broken for at least a week, if not longer. Apparently it's being worked on and will be fixed Real Soon Now...

Today, I found this:
