This is a great thing these kids are doing, but even if Twitter were to purchase their plugin and fully incorporate it, Twitter's problems won't ever go away.

This is a great thing these kids are doing, but even if Twitter were to purchase their plugin and fully incorporate it, Twitter's problems won't ever go away. If Twitter is defined by users who only want to share "little bits" of ideas, and only have the attention span to consume "small snippets" of information, it will always cater toward the simple minded. Twitter will never be a good place to go to listen, to learn, or to have your ideas challenged in a real way. Is it any surprise the bumper sticker of social networks has become such a toxic place?
