Twitter isn't even in the top 10 largest social media sites. I assert that its importance is vastly overblown because journalists were early adopters and they love talking "inside baseball" leading to a feedback loop of promotion where its perceived importance vastly exceeds its actual. With no exception, any and all important twitter events could have and would have been experienced with equal impact if they had occurred on other sites. As far as political impact goes, because its userbase is microscopically minuscule compared to other forms of media, most if not nearly all "consumers" of Twitter content actually get it elsewhere. Its absence would have all of the impression farms that call themselves news sites simply adopt an alternative source for their outrage-inducing content. I'm tired of hearing about it.
