Adjusting inet usage to Twittering-age?

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Partly because I'm located in the 3rd-world [going 4th]
with slow/expensive inet-conectivity, I've never seen
facebook.   Also I've long known that the HERD mentality
is what brings results like the global-economic-crisis. 

OTOH, we can't remain isolated.   For years I've had a 
solution against dancing-cartoons-in-yo-face
since http killed the original getting-text-to-read interntion
of inet: by using lynx to fetch & accumulate a numer of URL's
contents, while my attention is fetching individual emails.

Questions:
What's the typical podcast file-size per minute sound-play?

If twitter was originated for cell-phone SMS: 160 char,
 what does it mean when htttp-pages give links to twitter;
i.e. can Twitter messages be exchanges via an inet connection,
and is it 'sparse' without dancing-cartoons-in-yo-face,
and can it be run on eg. lynx/elinks?

How do people 'cope' with blogs, where one-cycle of  comment
and read replies to your comment, requires AT LEAST 2 d/ls
of the full article and ALL the comments that came before yours?

Is the downgrading/degeneration of the original inet intention
related to the new-fad idea that people can live on credit?

== TIA.
