Here was a point-by-point rebuttal but I deleted it now since turning this to a Reddit-like argument is pointless. In any case, my problem is not with Twitter.

Here was a point-by-point rebuttal but I deleted it now since turning this to a Reddit-like argument is pointless. In any case, my problem is not with Twitter. I see it as a neat niche app - maybe you're right and it will be a huge app. Nobody can really know at this point. My disappointment is with its coverage. If the NY Times and CNN are this easily excited over a 6 million user website, what's their advantage over, say, Scoble? Are we rebooting the Web again? Watching them cover Twitter feels like watching middle aged parents trying to dress and act like their teenage children.
