  Over-
  Statement
  Of
  The
  CENTURY!

  I admit I don’t get the fascination.

  Technically, its DIY IRC channel meets party-line SMS. Cool. The “how” I get.

  But WHY? The “why” completely escapes me. Is Twitter more profound than the inanity of IRC and the incessant texting of pubescent students on public transport?

  No offence JR, but while the blog is brilliant, I’ve checked out your Twitter …page? stream? channel? -whatever the correct term is – and I don’t see it man. At best it looks like a way to share spontaneous brain dumps with mates, at worst it seems like a pathetic attempt at social closeness between a bunch of strangers you wouldn’t even look at if you bumped into them.

  Whatever it is – if Twitter is humanity’s triumph then we’re f**ked.

  Either that or I’m an old fart.
