It’s not that I agree with everything Devin Coldewey says today in his TechCrunch post; but I gotta say, it’s so nice to (for once) read a smart and different (and negative) take on Twitter.

A highlight of his rather long, thoughtful thesis: “…if someone is so regularly finding content of merit, why don???t they have a blog where the content can be given context, discussion, and perhaps a preview so people aren???t going in blind? I like reading interesting blogs. I don???t want to receive links every time someone find something they think everyone should see. Twitter just adds another layer to the equation ??? and I don???t like layers.”

READ IT HERE. It’s good stuff. Of course, any blog post with a good Hammer pants reference gets an A in my book.
