1. I only get “Twitter’s down” messages when I use twitter.com to tweet. When I use an application-everything’s always working fine…
2. True, but Twitter spam is a different kind of SPAM-you can easily ignore it-email SPAM is more “in your face” kind of SPAM.

1. Deliverability… Twitter is down a LOT, so if you want to send a Tweet at a certain time, if Twitter is down, you won’t be able to. At least with email, it will sit in your Outbox until you have restored connectivity.

2. Spam…. Twitter is full of spam. If you tweet about wanting to lose weight, you will be bombarded with @ replies from people trying to push their product on you. People have Tweetdeck search columns just for that kind of thing.

All of that said, I would rather look at Twitter all day than an email client
