A 140 Character Tower of Babel

Twitter. Every one gets to say something. Instantly. And post it for everyone else to see. Is this a good thing? Seems like lots, and lots, and lots of mindless chatter. Often about subjects no one really knows anything about. So lots of mindless chatter about mindless chatter. And then lots of people sniping and snarking and shaming other people for mindless chattering. The mindless, relentless, in the moment beast of social media madly feeding on itself. A 140 character Tower of Babel. Is that a business? Is that a must-have app?
