Micro-blogging’s claims to greatness don’t ring true



Advocates of Twitter have made some grandiose claims about microblogging. One recurring argument is that it’s a tool for holding power to account. It’s a noble objective but falls far short of those lofty ambitions.

Cheers Stuart. He is right up there at the top of the Legends pile for me. I've probably used more Shankly quotes per capita of business presentations than anybody else. Not used this one but it's still my favourite:-
"Tommy Smith wasn't born, he was hewn from granite"
"Hewn" a much under utilised word these days.
PS: I believe you know my business partner - Charlie Milarvie. He says Hello.

Thanks Stuart, it certainly would be perverse if Livingston manages to establish itself as a social media hub, but glad us London based cads are allowed on the network at all!
