I'm just skeptical about the importance of twitter per se. > if Twitter truly didn't matter, the people who got kicked out of it wouldn't make such a big deal out of it I'm pretty sure that you can be trollish ass-hat and wrong at the same time. I think a lot of people tie up a lot of self worth in follower counts on twitter, but its illusory and probably not important. If you talk to any authors, musicians, or journalists with presences on twitter they'll all tell you that twitter doesn't drive traffic or sales its just a place to scream at people who mildly disagree with you. I think the greatest trick that twitter ever pulled was convincing people that twitter mattered outside of twitter.
