To all of you raising hell over TWiT vs. Twit:The title of this article is obviously a reference to the aphorism "Brevity is the soul of wit." The sentiment of that aphorism is extremely relevant to the article, and it's not some sort of heinous crime to abbreviate "Twitter" as "Twit" to make the reference work. It may be a mediocre pun, but it's not something to reach for the torches and pitchforks over... Jesus Christ. Get over yourselves.
Yeah, well... that's Digg for you.Reminds me of when I was 11 years old and was shocked to find that two different bands had coincidentally used the same title for a song each had done. I was pissed off because I thought that song titles were protected by copyright and that it was illegal to give a new song the same title as someone else's song.These folks are at that same level of intellectual maturity, I guess. "OMG U CANT SAY TWIT, THATS COPYMARTKD!!!"

If you thought this had anything to do with Leo Laporte, you are a dips**t who doesn't understand context.
