> ... but the media is following this unlike any other reorg because Twitter is their livlihood. i think this is a strange read on the importance of twitter for the media. twitter itself, as a technology just doesn't matter. it isn't the tech that creates the network of value, its the people. and we know from centuries of history, people will just shift to the next spot over--the bar that was popular last week is just... empty. the media, like general society, doesn't care which platform they're swarming around. it was myspace for a while, digg for a while, facebook... etc... we just move to the whichever captures a critical mass. the media will just simply move to wherever we all go. i suspect they're just covering it so much because hes like a jester--that weirdo kid in the hall screaming "look at me. look at me. LOOK AT ME! im a contrarian. im being contrarian! honestly i hate attention. quit staring at me. but LOOK AT ME!" and we all love watching jesters and contrarians fall over. even if they accidentally reach their destination. we still can't help but watch them fumble.
