Missing Him

Steven Levy on Twitter:

“To those who think Twitter frivolous, Evan Williams has a response: “Whoever said that things have to be useful?” But Dorsey thinks that Twitter can develop into something not only useful but essential. “It’s what you put into it,” he says. People have announced births on Twitter. The John Edwards campaign updates by Twitter regularly. CNN uses it to send out headlines. Meanwhile I’m haunted by one twitter I saw on the public timeline that streams everyone’s messages (unless they opt for privacy): “Missing him.”“
