At least the article made some interesting arguments about the value of twitter, the feature-completeness of twitter, and so on. What did the comment add?

It didn't add anything that anyone, who uses twitter, already didn't know about.

You could disagree, but as far as I am concerned, it is one of those articles about newsflash about non-news that will get some extra page-views. You might enjoy the mentality and trash journalism quality of TC - but I don't.

For more similar trashy post please read "How I Learned To Quit The iPhone And Love Google Voice" by Arrington few days ago. Judging from the comments number on that article, TC realized this kind of posts get massive pageviews (more money) so they continued the trend.

Don't be surprised if you see another post soon about "why I don't use x", that will pull some nerves from fanboy resulting in massive page views.

So, is "Why I don't use x" the new "X considered harmful"?

I'm not going to get in an argument with you over the merits of TechCrunch. The article contributed more to an interesting discussion than did your original comment.

No. It didn't.
