Twitterers beware! The Twitpocalypse is coming! (What is the proper term for one who twitters? A twit?)

The uber-trendy social networking site has produced an uber-trendy faux apocalypse. According to twitpocalypse.com:

"The Twitpocalypse is similar to the Y2K bug. Very soon the unique identifier associated to each tweet will exceed 2,147,483,647

For some of your favorite third-party Twitter services not designed to handle such a case, the sequence will suddenly turn into negative numbers. At this point, they are very likely to malfunction or crash."

At press time (which is whenever the hell I want it to be) the end-of-all-things-twitter prediction is anticipating zero hour occurring on June 13th at 6:45am. If you're obsessed with all the 3rd party bells and whistles for twitter out there, better get your fix in now while you can! But then again, the more you post the quicker Twitpocalypse will be upon us. Dilemma! To tweet or not to tweet? (What a dumb question)
