@XerTheSquirrel for me, it's a hedge against twitter going the rest of the way into total asshole mode
I've got issues with its overall structure and privacy (wouldn't trust it with an AD account) but I'm sure you've read the same threads as I have, so I won't rehash that.
Its web interface got better since last time I looked at it though.
@XerTheSquirrel at least tweetdeck for twitter still kept things chronological, as well as 3rd party mobile clients (that's the only way twitter is still usable for me... if they take those away, I'm gone)
@XerTheSquirrel but to be clear, I still don't want to migrate en masse if it can be avoided, and I'm not sure if the twitter social model is even that great, but whatever. Just roll with however this all shakes out, I guess.
