Celebrity Death Match: Stowe Boyd skewers Andrew Kantor over Twitter
Apr 7th 2007NiaLLLarkinUncategorized
Andrew Kantor writes dismissively about Twitter for USAToday and Stowe Boyd lets him have it. First here and then here.
 Kantor:
Twitter is a bad, bad thing — not just because of what it does, but because of what it says about all of us and our need to be connected. Twitter’s whole existence is based on the premise that we aren’t yet in touch with one another quite enough. According to Twitter, you see, we should be in touch every second — every moment. This is madness, and down this road lies overscheduled kids, over-prescribed Ritalin, and anti-depressants in value-sized jars.
Boyd:
Andrew Kantor does us all a service by snidely collating the most conventional arguments against Twitter in one place. Where better than square, middle-of-the-road USA Today?…Â I just love the sanctimonious tone that the Twitter haters take…[Twitter] will bring out the Calvinist lurking not so very far below the skin of our self-appointed arbiters of morality, like Kantor.
