Probably not.Do I care about twitter in the least? No, I don't use it and refuse to sign up for an account.  I think that your reference to it as a carcass that is getting way to much attention is spot on.  I am however saying the title "Twitter Revolution" is less tenuous than you implied.And to finish another quote from that same comment:"If you actually bother to check #pman on Twitter you will see that all communication is done either in Romanian or English.
