  1. Is this graph intended to represent topics discussed on Twitter, or Twitter itself?

    Personally, I’d be happy to see Twitter go the way of Friendster.

    For one thing, the terminology (“Twitter”, “Twit”, “Tweet”, “Twat”) is fucking stupid and annoying. You can’t talk about this technology without sounding like asshole.

    And Twitter is redundant. Facebook gives me status from friends, places, groups, and celebrities I care about. Facebook, RSS, and blogs give me pointers to interesting and zany Internet content. And now we’re all supposed to drop everything and switch to Twitter because, um, why?
