This what happens when you create a company around a glorified public majordomo public email list manager and virtuous feedback loop used by the media. I'm looking for the Google and companies that invent real tech.
Just because you don't derive utility from a product doesn't mean it's not 'real' tech. Twitter is basically the news medium for me and most of my friends at school. I cannot remember the last time I went to read a news article from a site other than (mostly) twitter.
