You can’t spell ‘Twitter’ without ‘twit’

has given what I consider to be the last word on the matter of micro-blogging here:

I like LJ because it promotes a certain degree of literacy and style. Twitter is going to be people saying “GOING TO LOO NOW HEHE” “I DONE A BIG POO” “COR UR BUM IS SMELY” etc. etc.

Compare that sentiment with a look at the latest posts on LJ, and you’ll realise just how bad it can be.
