Wait, your friend called to give you a heads up and you thank twitter for it?

  Seriously. People literally use one stretched example of how a tweet helped them, and then preach it to 40 year-old pr panelists, which then get regurgitated at 140 conferences. An endless cycle of shit.

  I think he's trying to say that if he hadn't used Twitter to confirm what his friend was saying, he might have spent time mulling around to see what the big deal was. In this case, Twitter was the cure for stupidity ("I'm not going to believe my friend, I'll ignore him!") instead of the generator of it ("I'm helping start a revolution in Iran from my computer chair! Go activist me! Yay!").
