Oh this is rich. Not. At least that’s what I thought reading the headline How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live on Time.com this morning. Though far from a die-hard devotee I think that of all the Twitteriffic stories in circulation Steven Johnson has nailed it: …as millions of devotees have discovered, Twitter turns [...]
