...neutral. It's a tool, neither good nor evil. It's all in how we use it. Twitter itself may continue to rise or it may go away, but its characteristics--real-time conversation, instant links, groups of followers--will affect the platforms that come after. There's a lesson in that for all of us in the media, for we must adapt to new technology, and not simply by putting the same old wine in new bottles.
