I'm torn, as it's been an incredibly valuable networking and information-dissemination tool for me I still think of it as something not necessary to check often. Except when I see I missed something important. And then I'm mad. Email me! Call me! Don't rely on DMs...

Seems to work for me and I don't think I've missed a DM yet. You can setup twitter to notify you via e-mail when you get a DM, it also contains the full message.

While the twitter servers are finally managing to keep up with the explosion of messages, the usability / manageability of the interface really hasn't. The third-party solutions (eg. clients & websites) don't seem to be designed for this either. Tom, it’s not really your fault here.

I mean, I even have a hard time remembering/keeping track of stuff I get/say via AIM. Part of that's probably my fault for having such shitty organizational skills :) It would be nice for everyone to stick to email… I mean, I even have a hard time remembering/keeping track of stuff I get/say via AIM.
