For me, the jury is still out on Twitter's staying power and whether/not the benefits outweigh the costs of following folks. The serendipity can be nice but a high-volume Twitterer (Tweeter?) generates a lot of noise — and it's hard enough to keep up with the overflowing buckets as it is, eh?

We would talk of doing these things via advertising, or appearances – which were when you’d show up somewhere in the real world, deface books with ink and communicate using small mouth noises.

The complex net of processes designed to take your money and give it to me is kind of ragged, what with newspapers collapsing and the concept of authority being passed from journalists to the BoingBoing crew to, in 2009, a Twitter post from the sainted Stephen Fry.
