BLDGBLOG: How the Other Half Writes: In Defense of Twitter
Again, I fail to see any clear distinction between someone's boring Twitter feed – considered only semi-literate and very much bad – and someone else's equally boring, paper-based diary – considered both pro-humanist and unquestionably good.
Kafka would have had a Twitter feed! And so would have Hemingway, and so would have Virgil, and so would have Sappho. It's a tool for writing. Heraclitus would have had a f***ing Twitter feed.

globeandmail.com: Locks won't solve the Wikipedia Problem
A bit of mental discipline from the rest of us might help take the pressure off the site, and relieve Jimbo Wales's troubled conscience. In your mind, change the name from Wikipedia to “Things Some People Were Saying.” Every time you find yourself about to quote Wikipedia in conversation, don't say, “I read on Wikipedia that Twinkies are full of vitamin D.” Instead, say, “Some people were saying that Twinkies are full of vitamin D.” If, by chance, you were thinking of using this information for an essay you're writing, be sure to insert a citation for “Some People (2009).”
