"Duncan Stewart's retweet of"... I am honestly curious -- why wouldn't you just say "Andy Levy said it best"? Is there some onus of attribution regarding retweets? (Not snarky -- seriously curious. My personal opinion is that you blog about or retweet or share something because you think it's notable, deserving no attribution unless you've actually added something interesting to it) Twitter celebrities will have a natural aversion to any medium that essentially puts them at ground zero, and they're going to look for reasons not to like it. For the overwhelming majority of ordinary people, however, it does fill a need. The first-class nature of circles and the privacy controls have completely changed social networks for me, making intermixing classes of relationships much more relaxing.
