What a retarded article. First, all the reasons listed therein simply boil down to "I am old, unhip asshat" Sure, there are aspects to twitter which are unlikeable - yet I dont see a solid argument here. I am also skeptical of the quality of the opinion based on him being "mr redmond" I have been a really really light user of twitter - hardly a tweet in my past, but I see its value. Especially in the ability to send short messages - it can route global attention. This is evidenced by the massive use of twitter during the revolutions and disasters currently hitting the world. Being confused by tags such as # and @ its a joke as well; you know how to use things like @example.com and usernames and password and how to host a blog and write articles online but are confused by a few context elements? I doubt it. All in all - while I dont use twitter that much at all - I do think that this article is fluff and not worth the time to read it.
