I think everyone is forgetting that you are repsonsible in Twitter for the signal to noise ratio. IRC was focussed on channels and topics. Twitter is focussed around people and social groups. Think of many hubs of concentric circles whereupon 'connectors' have access to 'mavens' a la Malcolm Gladwell. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tipping_Point One must just seek out the connectors and/or mavens to travel in different circles. I think the naysayers have every right to sit in the wings, but are missing the point. It's not the engine. It's the use thereof. It's human. It's the ultimate neural net. Ripples spread extremely fast. The hashtags #fisting and #microbats experiments come to mind. Twitter took me a year to get it. It sure as hell's not facebook or anything like it. It's the most interesting social overlay on the net I've seen yet. And isn't it wonderful that information pollution is provoking the powers of critical thought once again.
