There is very little to nothing insightful to add to a discussion about why some guy doesn't like twitter.
twitter is not for everyone the same way facebook is not for everyone, IM is not for everyone, IRC is not for everyone.
If it's not for you, its not for you. What insightful discussion you could possibly have about this? I added a not very insightful comment on a not very insightful topic. Which is what it deserves.
I haven't been following TC for sometime, but until few months ago, when I was actually following them a majority of their story was about twitter.
