None? Mike, you deserve better. Second (of all), I fully agree with the arc of your post here, which starts with Twitter (which made the cover of Time, etc.) but ends with Facebook. I think that the continuing rise of Facebook shows the importance of platform. Twitter, at the end of the day, is an app or, at best, a kind of program (as in "television program"). I might log in to see "what's on" but will bail if it's boring. Facebook, on the other hand, is more like a place that I can explore. I think the explorable on the web will always have longer legs (if that makes sense). Third of all, I'ma let you finish!
