Ok. I'll bite: What problem do you feel Twitter solved?
1 comments

To date, it's the most reliable, worldwide accesible, short-messaging, real-time propagation system that we've developed. Hands down, it has no competition. Not radio, not TV, not satellite communication and certainly not through any corporate-owned mouthpiece. It discounts trends, rumors, celebrity-induced Mass Sociogenic Illness or cheap propaganda.

It solved the problem of truthful dissemination through independent social verification.

If you did no not know that there was a problem with the truth as it was delivered to us prior to 2009 (which is when Twitter got its wheels) then you are one ignorant summbitch. Downvote for stupidity.

>then you are one ignorant summbitch. Downvote for stupidity.

You couldn't have answered the question without that bit?

ah yes how did we forget. thanks to twitter all the information we receive is unfiltered from the source and no one lies.
