I cared more about gaining Karma points. But I don't, so I'll go back to complaining about Twitter being down.

  karma is not something to be proud about. Have you not seen the plurkaholics thread?

  plurking for the sole purpose of gaining karma is a sad, sad thing. Complaining about Twitter is all the rage these days, though!

  Karma is based on messages like these.
