Of course, the most important thing about the Iranian protests is that they show how a social networking technology called Twitter is coming of age. Twitter is driving the whole thing, right? Well...
I quite like Twitter, but my goodness, I am sick of the way people go on about it like it's the most important thing since the printing press and sliced bread combined, if you can imagine that. Such self-obsession.
Back from hols on Friday so will be able to blog properly instead of emitting sporadic dyspeptic grunts.
"since the printing press and sliced bread combined"
Edible books, or newspapers you can toast after reading each page ?

It's kind of funny how a few years journos were complanining about bloggers and now bloggers are complaining about twitters. Who will the twitters complain about?

I'm sick of twitter-mania too. For every message with some worth there's 1000 people who are far too self-involved.
