I went looking for those kinds of stats – do you have a link?

Leading to our minds becoming one, in a way. I hope that makes sense. i think of twitter as more as a door way to the collective unconscious, or rather a digitized way of sharing thoughts, feelings, and knowledge…speeding up the process.

Twitter does keep the sort of "anger-microtrend" going quite well, and the amazon fiasco this weekend is a good example. People love to work up a righteous fury about something.

Really, web-servers are getting better, and fewer and fewer sites are going down due to excess traffic. This is a problem that will be less and less of a problem as time goes.
