The Deliberate Awfulness of Social Media
" you know that you could leave at any time and you know that you will not."<p>I have no problem.<p>The press needs to take more responsibility for this as they are the primary enablers of Twitter.<p>Tweets are presented all the time in articles as expression of legitimate opinion, and often used as the basis for some kind of rally bad straw-man argument the author wants to make.<p>I think Twitter will wane but it won't go away as those who make their business making noise, either celebs or those who report on them, will just keep going with it.<p>It may become purely PR providence though - I can see regular people giving up the notion of actively tweeting entirely.
