As someone who does not use Twitter, and cannot see why I would ::

I feel like a person who, caught unawares, has to take refuge[1] when the tide comes in. You then just have to wait while the sea rages and eventually recedes.

it is amazing to watch the swirling currents of Twitter news around HN/Slashdot/Regular Press.

Thank you for providing the obligatory comment about the Twitter fad. Now we have something to use to vote whether we like Twitter or not.

But that's not what voting is supposed to be for!!1

I quit reading when I saw "okay... the poop is coming out". Suddenly "tweetingtoohard" took on new meaning.

Heh. Pretty sure it's a reference to this: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/4/23/

ha for your revenue model you can charge people who want their tweet to be removed from your site.

I say this only half-jokingly.

It should cost a dollar an upvote. Incentivize people to get their tweets removed early.

I think something like that could be built upon twollars.

That's the GetSatisfaction/RipOffReport business model.

actually, TTH uses the purported Hacker News algorithm, so i'm not sure if Digg would be the best comparison. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/reddit-stumbleupon-delicious-and-...

I'd like to think that these tweets are actually parodying the "real" Twitter, but sadly I know better than that. Oh the world... what an interesting place you are...
