    What's not to like about it?

    • On average it's around 15x lighter than Twitter, and therefore serves pages faster most of the time
    • Open source
    • Protects your privacy from Twitter as JavaScript can be disabled and tweets can be served through proxies

    I'm really looking forward to the 'simple account system' which is currently under development. Until then, using multi twitter feeds by putting semicolons between account names works great as well (for example https://nitter.net/thatcks,segphault,troyhunt).
