because the entire thing is an opp. the desired (and quite malleable) social effects wouldn’t occur so predictably if the network in question wasn’t twitter. twitter has seemingly been primed for his takeover since its inception if you ask me.

I really dont think that there is as much traffic at Twitter as they claim.
