Bordering on incoherent, though it may just be the hangover keeping me from grokking it. I take it that his point is, Costolo promised we'd be impressed with Twitter advertising, and so far we aren't?

I remain at a loss for why we take Winer so seriously, but that too may be a bias, from Maciej writing about his cashew snorfling.

His writing _is_ idiosyncratic and very stream-of-consciousness. I posted this particular thing because I was interested in the origin of the dickbar and I found the comparison of twitter advertising to google advertising intelligent. I certainly won't argue with anyone who prefers a different delivery.

It's not you. I read that article 3x and it makes little sense.

Twitter. Ugh.

A dickbar is pretty much any bar after a certain point in the evening.

In some exceptional cases, they'd serve any time of the day, not just in the evening

Though it is funny that Dave Winer's site went down under the HN load. You'd think he'd have a slashdot-proof (or HN-proof) server by now?

Actually, I'd expect him to stubbornly stick to something nearly obsolete that doesn't quite work.

That's not a very nice thing to say about Apache.

A dickbar is a site that does not load.
