Sorry my blog isn't too Chinese character friendly but I agree. And as mentioned in the comments by others - the gap between who you are online and who you are in reality is closing quickly and it's not going to be easy to maintain that facade over a long period of time. @Sharon Isabella Lee: Thanks for the comment!

For the fame or lack of it, I guess. Classic example of why the saying “???????” stays true a virtue =) If he’s so tired of maintaining it, why don’t he just shut it down.

I have used TweetSG once - tested a post ... which appeared only a month later, and sworn off the service altogether. I didn't realize that this was going on until I read this entry. (And out of curiosity, visited the profile page and viewed a couple of other entries on the issue.) I can see the viewpoints of both the frustrated users and the (equally frustrated) owner. However, frustrating as maintaining the system can be - he could have been a lot nicer about it. IQ should come with EQ, after all. @Jonathan Haha, likewise.

After reading your post I was so turned off that I informed him via twitter that I wouldn't be using his services because I found his behaviour off-putting. While I do think that it's his prerogative to run his service (or whatever he calls it) whichever way he wants, I personally don't like dealing with/putting up with people that are just not nice. His responses via twitter to me confirmed that I had made the right decision. I thought my tweet to him was very civil and I meant it as a kind of constructive feedback, but apparently he didn't think so. Oh well. Whatever it is, I'm done with him and his service.

Just read his blog post. While I am a neutral observer in this whole affair, it's pretty apparent he doesn't really give a damn. Which is perfectly fine, since it's his prerogative. I suppose people who are classified as his type-2 and type-3 users shouldn't give a damn about him or his commercial <a href="http://smsperks.com" rel="nofollow">SMSPerks</a> service either. @Brenda – Yup.

There are quite a few people who have approached it from the "It's open and free and not a business" platform and I think that is totally, totally valid. I don't know about his other commercial entity nor the connection, but as you pointed out, those who do, will definitely be wary of it because I also don't think behavior will suddenly change when monetary transactions are involved. I'm not unsympathetic to his situation, I just think he could have handled it better. As someone commented on someone else's shared link on Facebook "yet another entrepreneurial endeavour failed because of bad anger management" (rough quote). Again, doesn't matter whether that is *really* true or not. It's just how the public perceives it. @Miccheng: Thanks for weighing in Mic!
