The interesting thing about Twitter is how it shows how a significant part of our society works. It is kind of about amplifying fame and suggesting that we should all cares about meaningless 240 character posts or what these guys think.

That news media types love Twitter is kind of an indictment of how news works.

Humans have neolithic hunter-gather brains and emotional reactions, medieval civil intuitions while using tech that borders on magic.

Twitter used to call itself the town square, and it is/was just like the square of old. Dominated by those that yelled the loudest and longest.
