To quote David Cameron, "Too many twits might make a twat".

Did CNN and Fox News send all the staff home? How else would they be getting their up-to-the minute, accurate stories without twitter? What a farce this entire twitter/facebook/myspace crap phenomenon has become? Do these users remember what a REAL friend is?

If it was Apple it would have been a VVoS attack.

It probably just missed your generation ....

Too bad most people don't use it for that. It ends up being a "Look at me!" application.

It was the same person who killed Asmodean, and if you get that, you are as big a dork as I.

Good, I hope it stays down. I am sick of hearing about it in all of my podcasts/tech news.
