Twitter in The Economist

The Economist magazine recently published a flattering article about Twitter. The article was titled A-Twitter and it compared Twitter to a form of abbreviated communication used by foreign correspondents in the first half of the 20th century called cablese.

The Economist celebrated the restraints imposed by Twitter as "a strength," referring to our character limit as "poetic form." We like that! Finally, the piece declares Twitter "hard to dismiss." That's the stuff!

Wow, this was kind of a let down. I thought I was going to find out Twitter was a hidden easter egg in the most recent episode of Lost. (title of the most recent episode was, "The Economist") ;)
