Tried to Twit!
June 19, 2009
Today, I tried creating a twitter account. The form is nice, short, and quick. I filled up the regular information (Fig-1). Then, I got confused when I reached the last part. This was the place where they are trying trying to check if I am human trying to twit or a twitting machine – reCaptcha. I thought I entered the text in it correctly.

I clicked on Create my account, and then I got blank form (Fig-2). No error messages to inform me of what went wrong or any other issues that may have occurred.

So I tried again and again. I tried really hard to convince recaptcha that I am HUMAN. I also rechecked with few colleagues just to ensure what I entered was correct. I clicked Create my account again this time with some apprehension. I get the same new blank form (Fig-3).

I guess twitter has got a great growth rate this year. So, they don’t really care for more members now. I know the reCaptcha is an issue, but other forms point out reCaptcha incorrect entry error without removing rest of the information I entered. Twitter doesn’t even care to do that.
So I will tweet some time in next few years or when Iran and the whole mid-east is in peace.
