No, my point is simpler than that. The linked post is a lame rehash of the "Twitter is for self-centered people talking about mundane crap" criticism, with the twist that it's targeted at hipsters.

The commenter suggested that hit too close to home. Here's a quick test. Look at the homepage of the guy who wrote the OP and look at his Twitter feed -- it looks pretty much like something you'd expect from someone like the hipster made fun of in the post.

I'm a tech writer. I use Twitter as part of my work, and rarely post personal stuff. And more to the point, I really don't care how other people use Twitter, nor do I find my self-worth in making fun of how they do use Twitter or FourSquare -- even when what I do or don't do on those services differs from them.
