&gt; If there&#x27;s a place that has sucked up most of the conversation, it would be Twitter.<p>The conversations on Twitter are unfortunately not of the same fidelity as the ones on a traditional forum where you can actually compose full thoughts.<p>Perhaps it&#x27;s better to say that Twitter has sucked up most of the attention of those same people.<p>Subtle distinction but huge difference imo because I can&#x27;t go follow those same people on Twitter and expect the same type of conversation as they would have made on HN.
