Whiner. - Paola Bonomo

I am surprised, most media is writing good things about Twitter - Chris Frost

Personally, I'm over Twitter... for now. - Adrian

The Guardian loves Twitter and has reaped the rewards. @guardiantech is (rightly) one of the most-followed users and the network delivers a ton of traffic to their site, which is full of pro-Twitter stuff. They write these contrary pieces once in a while in a futile attempt to keep the balance. :) - Shéa Bennett from fftogo

Of course they're right, the whole internet is the preserve of the elite. We should never have allowed this computer technology into the hands of the great unwashed majority. Look how they've ruined it for us. - Gilbert Harding

I've never been referred to as neither elite or tiny. I'm strangly honoured. - Kevin Brew

Yay, I'm an elitist sucker. It's all a bit rich coming from the Guardian, that bunch of right leaning conservatives. - David Eedle

I think the global internet is controlled by an elite (edit : for the moment) - Stanislas Jourdan

what does FTM stand for, facebook-twitter-mafia? - Mike Nencetti

It's not a sucker's game that only serves the needs of a tiny elite unless you expected it to be a real social platform and conversation engine. If that's your expectation you'll likely feel suckered. If you expect that it's a internet megaphone ... aka new marketing device ... then you probably feel alright about Twitter. I think the problem comes because people want it to be something other than it is. [edit] Thinking I've become a broken record on the subject :( - AJ Kohn

Sounds like just a misguided user who himself believes that it is about getting the biggest number of followers and believes that all other users have the same goal. He went to a party and he didn't get enough attention. And, uh, the Guardian? Isn't that really only serving a tiny elite? I mean I am not making anything from its existence. - Jim Espinoza

Yes, Seth is right, but so what? - Big K

Not true at all. - Leo Laporte

Hmm, sounds bitter about something. - Jack Humphrey

While Twitter may be a sucker's game (or may not be the verdict is still out on that) it's certainly not just for a tiny elite. Twitter Inc may cater to a tiny elite, but that's not to say thy're the only beneficiaries. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

@nencetti FTM is FriendFeed-Twitter-Mafia. ;) - Daniel W. Crompton

No. They're the tiny elite. - Prokofy Neva

Who? - Michael Kaiser from Nambu

No. My use case for Twitter is very practical. - Laura Norvig

The Guardian also use Twitter... Do they consider themselves part of the elite? - Valentin Danner

Like almost anything, it really depends on how you use Twitter and what relationships you make there. It can be a useful tool and (for what I use it for) it serves my needs. I'm not part of an elite anything. - ax0n

You know you have made it when they make a Chia Pet after you. - Martha

Uh Martha, he's da President! He "made it." - Steve Rubel

YES!!! that is *so* patriotic! hahaaa! +1 Martha! - Susan Beebe

I would so have bought a Cheney Chia Pet. - Dave Cadoff

@Dave Cheney is bald. He has as much shot at being a Chia Pet as I do! - Steve Rubel

Great one! - Steve Rubel

Too bad there is no "love" button. - Martha

haha... - sen.l
