Twitter is like trying to watch a football game where all 40,000 members of the audience have a microphone and each think they should be the announcer.

You turn the TV volume off, but members of the media have been perusing the seats for a interesting cherry-picked "announcer". Finding one, they parrot it to the rest of the world and that guy's opinion shows up on your phone anyway.

But when this works well, it's actually one of the things I most enjoy about Twitter: kibitzing live events.
