False! Totally false and not to the point. I like Twitter sometimes. The point of mentioning Wikipedia is that someone who assumed that anyone who ever used Wikipedia was committing themselves to "keeping up" with Wikipedia all the time was making a terrible assumption. And someone who assumes that using Twitter means that you are committing yourself to keeping up with Twitter is making an assumption just as bad.

No, these days I find Twitter filled with advertisements. But when it's useful, it's useful. Next time there's an earthquake, or Metro bombings in Moscow, I'll be there.
