- michaelpinto, on 03/25/2009, -5/+124Leo Laporte is THE man — people forget hat he played a bit of role in promoting Twitter before it was such a big deal, it was because of him that I discovered both Twitter and Digg....
- wannaBdug, on 03/25/2009, -2/+73A twitter quitter
- christoast, on 03/25/2009, -3/+58yeah leo is one of my teenhood heroes, i remember watching him on techtv almost every day.
He was uncool before uncool was cool. Hes was where i first herd about twitter and that was a long time ago. - vicsvenge, on 03/25/2009, -2/+56i thought it said greek warriors plotting to overthrow twitter. So i was picturing the guys from 300 beating the bejesus out of a bunch of twits. *****. whatever.
- louiebaur, on 03/25/2009, -1/+47Twit Army eh?
- jodhas, on 03/25/2009, -7/+43Anybody tired of seeing another pointless Twitter story on the frontpages yet?
- hollywoodphony, on 03/25/2009, -5/+36"Twitter has grown like a magic beanstalk into a full-fledged communications medium — taking its place alongside Web pages, e-mail and maybe even television."
A bunch of inane "thoughts" from self-indulgent jackasses (like me, I admit it) are going to usurp the role of TV? - haroonie, on 03/25/2009, -9/+38who doesn't enjoy some *****?
- brianpeiris, on 03/25/2009, -6/+30Getting serious about Twitter? You're doing it wrong.
- Arowin, on 03/25/2009, -1/+24Not that it'll make much of a difference. Like how the word 'netcast' has really caught on...
- Archer007, on 03/25/2009, -1/+23Yo dawg I herd...
- minustheleo, on 03/25/2009, -0/+21wasn't that longer than 140 characters?
- christoast, on 03/25/2009, -0/+20Later this week, a cybernetic machine will be sent back from the future to kill the leader of the resistance.
Gods speed Leo. - inactive, on 03/25/2009, -5/+25oh gawd, another twitter story made it to the front page.
- nate007, on 03/25/2009, -4/+23I don't care for twitter
- electricwaffles, on 03/25/2009, -8/+22I don't agree with Laporte's Twit vs. Twitter brand arguments. I mean, they're both words that exist separately in the English language, and have done so for quite some time.
- dukeeeey, on 03/25/2009, -0/+13Twitter is a big brother database on you. Just one you fill out yourself.
- whoreable, on 03/25/2009, -1/+13Twitter is weaker than Richard Simmons' wrist.
- jury, on 03/25/2009, -2/+14its ridiculous to consider twitter as some kind of replacement to current mediums of communications.
as far as im concerned it will find its spot along side email, cell phones, snail mail and talking, with your mouth, to another human being, in real life.
get over it geez - inactive, on 03/25/2009, -2/+12Twitter spam is the new marijuana propaganda and obama spam.
- Zippo, on 03/25/2009, -0/+9Leo Laporte would be proud.
- jedinate, on 03/25/2009, -2/+11Leo has played a huge part, over the years, in changing the perception of what a geek is. When I was growing up, geek was synonymous with nerd. Now geek is cool, nerd still isn't.
- rabidbob, on 03/25/2009, -1/+10Twit Geek Army?
MADNESS?
THIS .... IS ... TWITTER! - Laughto, on 03/25/2009, -3/+11It hasn't, but it would be good if it did, right? Podcast still does remind of iPod
- ENEL, on 03/25/2009, -0/+8The internet is serious business
- Greengoo, on 03/25/2009, -0/+7These sound like Pokemon.
- RogerMcDodger, on 03/25/2009, -1/+8Leo has critised twitter from very early on for all manner of things and has been very open about it.
- likwidfuzion, on 03/25/2009, -0/+6TechTV? You're not old school if you didn't know about him during the ZDTV days on The Screensavers with Kate Botello.
- messiah, on 03/25/2009, -9/+15Leo is a friggin Hipocrite. He has just Shat upon his whole community by flooding his Podcasts with Twitter Talk, He even just closed his own site forums as they were bagging him so much. Now he turns around and berates Twitter.....go figure. I used to be a Leo fan, but you really cant trust anything that comes out of his mouth, Its like he has ADD or some Mental issue ?
- Jektal, on 03/25/2009, -0/+5Being open to new ideas and arguments is a bad thing? Bet you love O'Reilly, huh?
- Jektal, on 03/25/2009, -0/+5*J*
What are we doing? - lfroker, on 03/25/2009, -0/+5That would have been a much more interesting story.
- TMTurtle, on 03/25/2009, -0/+5Sounds a lot like TV, yeah.
- InactiveCargo, on 03/25/2009, -10/+15Where's mrbabyman when you need him? 13 Twitter articles in the past 4 days isn't enough for me. Could we get some more please?

- JesusSaidSo, on 03/25/2009, -0/+5Twitter reminds me of Pogs and Moon Shoes.
- EMGroup, on 03/25/2009, -4/+9NOOO...w/o twitter how else am I going to tell people when I am walking to my car or brushing my teeth!!!!
- DigitalisAkujin, on 03/25/2009, -0/+4Are you ***** kidding me? Twitter as a whole is like 5 tables in SQL max. You don't even need a dynamic table to get ***** done. 140 characters? k..... char (140).... Done
Any nub with 15 minutes of time can go and learn all the programming they need to make twitter in a weekend. - Jektal, on 03/25/2009, -0/+4I really want to digg you, cause I agree with your post. But damn man, lrn 2 rite.
- Schlaefer, on 03/25/2009, -3/+7It was This Week in Twitter for the last year, but now, as they're no longer the Top Ten celebrities on it, it's dangerous. LOL
And please don't use their system, use mine, because it's … better for my marketing than the old one now … eh … I mean … not centralized. - 1jaxstate1, on 03/25/2009, -0/+4Didn't know Twitter was that serious.
- Technopundit, on 03/25/2009, -0/+4Get the functionality to dumb cell phones, either free or really cheap, and Twitter will be crushed.
- entropysteak, on 03/25/2009, -0/+4you're right, that is why i usually don't comment in these stupid ***** twitter diggs, i just bury them.
***** twitter. microblogging is the most inane ***** internet invention of all time. 4chan serves more of a purpose. - shadowspawn, on 03/25/2009, -1/+5So y'all who use it are called twits, right?
- Endit, on 03/25/2009, -0/+4I was expecting a quote like "Twitter is going to take over the world!" in this article.
- OhMightyVlog, on 03/25/2009, -4/+8I like Leo but sometimes he acts like he doesn't know what he is talking about *l*
- konataXchan, on 03/25/2009, -0/+4The Twit Army vs Twitter vs Jaiku vs Rejaw vs Plurk vs the rest.
- TodoInTX, on 03/25/2009, -0/+4I'd hardly consider Leo Laporte as a geek warrior, he's more of a geek mascot.
- monkeystick, on 03/25/2009, -1/+5you rang?
http://army.twit.tv - zip000, on 03/25/2009, -2/+6I'm not one of your standard twitter haters...but I just don't get it really.
I've set up a twitter account, and I follow a couple of people, and a couple people follow me - I can't imagine why.
The only time I ever log into twitter is when it's like 20 minutes until the end of the work day, and I can't think of anything else to do...at which point, I'll log onto facebook...and then when that get's boring...about 10 minutes later...I'll log onto twitter.
It can't be because I'm too old...Leo is a crap load older than I am, and he likes and uses this stuff. -
