Enough about Twitter! A rant in 6 tweets
The world didn't end when Twitter went down. Yes, the site is great for sharing information. But the obsession with and fawning over Twitter is so overdone.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- omg! twitter's down! what did shaq eat 4 lunch? i don't know. but who cares? tweets are junk food 4 brain. where's the biz, biz? aykm?
would u pay for tweets? r advertisers that interested in this "content?" this is the 2009 version of the pet rock. this too shall pass.
sure. tweeting in iran is great. bravo 4 free speech! but does that make twitter the next goog, aapl, or msft? i don't think so.
what's the diff btw twitter and newspapers? it's cool 4 twitter to lose money, not a sign of impending obsolescence. how long can that last?
what's up with the fail whale? a cute aquatic mammal pops up to cheerily let people know u r slow? huh? maybe aol should have tried that.
