I hanged out in IRC with a bunch of smart bloggers ten years ago. They wrote well-thought and interesting content that was easily aggregated through RSS. Then there was a massive migration to Twitter where the style changed to (supossedly) witty, and a lot of new people wrote that couldn't have written two paragraphs that made any sense. The interface is also terrible, very difficult to follow a conversation with, and the last straw was the trend to make it all with JavaScript in the client that made Twitter more of "an app" than "a web site".
