at what point do we all wake up from the momentary lapse of reason and admit that Twitter is not a good idea? it's not a good way to communicate (unless propaganda and vicious harrassment is what you're going for). it's not a good way to make money. it's not a good way to advertise. it's not good for anything really.

I still think it is pretty good for following interesting people. I have signed off from Facebook because I kept getting drawn into useless political discussions. That happens on Twitter, too, but it doesn't lend itself to neverending arguments in the same way. And it is easier to follow a diverse crowd of people.
