Bad news Twitter fans: How I know without a doubt that your favorite service is in a death spiral

Because today I finally signed up, and my record of registering for products and services the very instant after they reach their zenith and begin a spectacular descent into unpopularity and insolvency is impeccable. Doesn’t matter whether I sign up during the private invite-only phase or two years after everyone and their parents, I ruin cool things. So check me out at Twitter if you can still be bothered, or inspect my presence and become fake friends with me at just a few of the other services that became noticeably less interesting the moment I signed up, such as Flickr, Facebook and LinkedIn.
