Grandiloquent Bloviator

Like Tyler Cowen for the C-students

On Twitter

This is perhaps the most trenchant, most accurate thing I've ever seen written about Twitter:
I think in a few years people will look back at Twitter and feel like they were, well, duped in a way – millions of grown men and women, adults, typing in obscure abbreviations and making up messy syntaxes just to fit a semi-arbitrary character limit.
The key word here is "adults."

via metafilter, obviously.
