I hope this ridiculous debacle helps to show all the Twitter addicts that they don't really need that website in their lives. Depends on who you include in "twitter addicts". I'd bet most Twitter users have barely even noticed. The interesting thing is that the group who care the most and are the most angry about it, who I will refer to as the "league of blue checkmarks", are also the group who most derive their own personal power and influence from Twitter, discouraging them from leaving.
