Twitter's *exactly* like Usenet, except there's only one "group" - misc.misc. Among the many ways it's shit is that it doesn't scale. Once you follow enough people, the Tweets arrive way faster than you can keep up, and unless you have a Twitter client that saves them(*), they vanish off the bottom of the list and are lost. Yet another example of someone reinventing Usenet, badly. (* I don't know if any do that. The two I use don't.) -- Today is Sweetmorn, the 50th day of Confusion in the YOLD 3180 Celebrate Confuflux "I do not believe in revealed religion — I will have nothing to do with your immortality; we are miserable enough in this life, without speculating on another." Lord Byron, 1778-1824, letter to Rev. Francis Hodgson, 1811
