Needs more substance. I agree with the general premise but saying "twitter is like email as a protocal in the 80's" isn't horribly compelling evidence.

- TheAmazingIdiot 17y agoThat's what I was going to say. It looks like that the article was put together from 4 or 5 tweets (or whatever they call those short messages). Perhaps, the article-let is true, but there's just no meat as to why. And I dont understand why a tweet isn't similar to inviting a client on IRC and making short messages via that. All you'd need is a bot to watch who's online and who isnt and have the bot save messages aimed at that user. The tech is easily here to replace Twitter. And by the times people complain about it going down (fail whale), why not just replace it?
