Others were mentioning before today that "Twitter should black out because it's one of the few services the people in the government use, so they would experience the impact of SOPA."

Twitter is a sounding board for the internet, and I think by having it available, SOPA is getting much more attention than it would have gotten than if it was blacked out. 250k/hr regarding one topic sure is nothing to sneeze at!

Those messages would have come through tomorrow. And what is better: a few million tweets most of which are inarticulate or a single well presented page that EVERY TWITTER USER would read?

That depends, how much of Twitter's userbase uses the web clients?
