Also, there is little competition within the same industry (It's quite unique) This brings me to the point of competitors. For this example I will use browsers, Firefox and Chrome. Firefox has kept crashing to install updates for the last 4 months. This didn't bother me at first because it provided me with a very modest popup saying that it was their fault, they will try to recover the webpages I was working on. Fair enough, they did. This worked up to the point that I started using Chrome. I have permanently switched browsers due to the better stability and speed. Lesson to be learnt here is to manage your 404's. Stop them happening, because one of your competitors could end up with one of your potential customers. Always to check for 404's in your analytics. Monitor constantly! Thats was a bit of a rant. Glad I got it off my chest. lol Good 404 error pages are a must and go some way to reduce frustrations & relationship problems, but I also think, in this case, as far as I’m concerned, Twitter isn’t as important to me like other services such as Google, so it can get away with it a little.
