Andy Pemberton: What kind of person uses Twitter?

More Twits Twittering about Twitter, in this case Andy Pemberton in the Times on February 22nd:

“What kind of person shares information with the world the minute they get it?”

Er … a journalist writing for a newspaper, possibly, Andy? Or perhaps the Times delays all it’s stories as a matter of principle.

The wrong end of the wrong stick, methinks.

Another one from Andy’s piece:

“They don’t say, ‘What do you think of Descartes’s second treatise?”

That made me wonder what all those Twerps on Twitter were twittering about since yesterday.

The piece is titled “A load of Twitter”. Quite.
