Now I'm not bitting the hand that feeds me,I do still love www.twitter.com , but it's starting to get real defensive in here. ReadWriteWeb(see link below) after a complaint about NOT showcasing twitter alternatives, decided to list other choices like www.friendfeed.com ...So what was the result? People complained that they were now giving Twitter too much bad press. Really? So are they Twitter fan boys or detractors? I love it! Our online newspapers have such a diverse audience, it's impossible to please everyone. Some worried about http://arstechnica.com/ losing it's touch when www.wired.com 's parent company bought them. No worries, Wired will still be for the consumer and Ars will still be for the developers...FANBOYS!!!!!
