Twitter have a problem with trolls and noise for more popular users, but it's still compelling enough for someone like Paul Graham to publish tweets like this and continue using the platform: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/703705844614094848 https://twitter.com/paulg/status/703705844614094848 and, as the article states, for the popular and the notable to use it as a broadcast platform and others to use it as a way of consuming the zeitgeist. I think the replies to that pg tweet are the perfect distillation of all that is glorious and depressing about twitter - an open conversation with everyone in the world leads to repeated questions from the crowd punctuated by spam and trolls, and amidst the cacophony serendipitous discoveries and some interesting responses, for there is in twitter all that life can afford.
