That's always been the mystery of Twitter to me. The fact that it became a place where interesting people have (ostensibly) serious conversations is _incredible_ to me, given how amazingly ill-suited to that task it is. If it was just as successful but (only) full of people exhibiting drive-by "wit", it would make a lot more sense to me.
