   By what metric? The people I want to talk to are here. There are more fascinating people here than I can keep up with. I care about that. I cook up a pot of chili, it's because I want to eat a pot of chili, and someone comes through and says "Well, this is too spicy to sell in huge numbers and it takes you too long to make it", the response--provided I don't freeze up trying to figure out why he's talking about sales figures--is that I'm not selling it. The broadcast channel, the "audience", I couldn't give a shit about that even if I had a mountain of cocaine. If I want to broadcast something, I've got blogs.
   
   Your fundamental assumptions are off. Here is a pirated mp3, feel free to say some gamer words, attach a PDF. We can talk here. I don't know exactly when Twitter stopped being useful as a place to talk to people, but that was what I was using it for initially. Friends were there, I'd talk to them, that was fun. It turned into a mall. I don't want to sip an Orange Julius while I check out the sale at Tommy Bahama's, so now I'm here. This place *can't* turn into a mall. There's no way to control the message. So George Takei wants to posture about politics and a bunch of people suck his dick in replies that he doesn't read: this place is unsuitable for that, so they've gotta block everyone that doesn't play along. The place isn't Twitter, it's not Facebook, it's not like any of those places, and that's a fucking relief: I don't like those places.
