From the author's list of "things that make Twitter Twitter", I'd say
that "3. Public" and "6. Semi-Ephemeral" are the only ones really
shared with Usenet. He doesn't mention unmoderated (compared to
Usenet-style manual moderation), but I think that "public" and
"unmoderated" are key to allowing such behaviour to exist, while the
other factors simply harm the signal-to-noise ratio of Twitter
further.
