We should change the headline; I clicked on this to see what PB's response to that would be, but instead it's just another TechCrunch trend story.

I'm still hoping that I wake up one day and find out the rest of the world has decided to stop talking about Facebook and Twitter...

you just talked about it

I hear you, as a geek I read about it all day, and the last thing I want to hear when I'm out shopping/eating and socializing is "hey I started Tweeting" or "I was just on Facebook and found an old classmate"

To which I respond: "Amazing, I'm so thrilled for you, welcome to my 2007."

Shoot me now.

I've been using friendfeed and Twitter for months, but just noticed that FF let's you edit posts after posting. I think I can credit that to the new UI.

Why not post directly to the site so we can take a look and decide? Why the middle man?

Why go to HN? Why the middle man?

HN is the aggregator, not the middle man, once an interesting story gets to the front page people in the community can start interesting debates.

So linking to other aggregators is like linking from HN to digg or reddit, being TC another one of them.

Good netiquette links directly to the source.

The middle-man in this case is for discussion. I'm always curious as to what the HN community will say about a topic, and much less interested in what the TC community has to say (more so what Arrington and the crew says).

In every debate there's a moderator or someone to 'get the ball rolling', in this case it's either the users of HN or the editors of TC.
