Why Twitter Will Endure: David Carr

Over the holidays, you may have missed David Carr's piece in the New York Times on Twitter, and why the service will outlast the likes of Myspace and Friendster. It's a good read, full of talking points for your parents, or Brian Williams (awesome sweatpants!).

Boing Boing editor/partner and tech culture journalist Xeni Jardin hosts and produces Boing Boing's in-flight TV channel on Virgin America airlines (#10 on the dial), and writes about living with breast cancer. Diagnosed in 2011. @xeni on Twitter. email: xeni@boingboing.net.

I’ve been trying to wait so the first comment isn’t negative, but it’s been a while now and David Carr said it so I guess I’ll say it too.

I just can’t get past the name.

Twitter? Tweet? Really? Do I have to?
