Consider this one a features story. No so much need to follow an assembling crowd and seeing what they're griping about in person anymore, trending will show it. Fact of the matter is that momentarily twitter reflects general public discourse and has to be engaged with. Not to say that the whole public discourses through twitter, but that it generally reflects public discourse. As in, even the broadcast segments that are watched by technophobic grandparents show it on screen, reference it, and then talk about it.
