Back in February, a_friend_in_mead wrote a blog post on the pointlessness of Twitter. I responded:
[quote:2wl8sh8h]why do [critics of Twitter] always use the exact same (usually puerile, frequently scatological) reductio ad absurdum argument to express this prejudice? Have they really spent all that time trawling through other people's messages and then decided, were they ever to use the service, it would only be for puerile scatological trivialities?
A lot of people use the utility pointlessly: a fair criticism, if it can be backed up.
This particular person is using the utility pointlessly: yeah, I'm sure, but bad enough to make you write about it? How about just not reading it.
But the very concept of the service is pointless? That's just trolling.[/quote:2wl8sh8h]
Off under the bridge with you, Ken.
