Tony, the articles that have been written about what a disaster the loss of Twitter would be speak about how, internationally, Twitter is being used for rebellions, emergency connections, etc. Considering that only 23% of Americans use Twitter and only 4.75% in the rest of the world. it is not the site that everybody is having heart attacks about on Twitter. |Have you read them?

I am writing this in context with that, and I'm sorry, in terms of national and international service, it only services the rich and the powerful.

If people want a weather forecast, etc. there are plenty of places on the web, including news. And I have never seen a decent news report on Twitter.

For instance, I happen to have a subscription to t he Washington Post, but if I didn't have a subscription, I wouldn't be able to read what they say.
