As far as that Twitter comment goes: I've always found Bray to be a bit too pleased with himself and not as clever as he would like to think he is. In that context, it's not a humorous bit of side eye but a tedious manifestation of his superiority complex.

He's also 100% correct, Twitter should be de-listed and treated as a utility. It's too much of a public good to get gobbled up by Google or whoever.

What makes Twitter "too much of a public good" in your opinion?

It's very handy as a short message system for public announcements/information.

trying to turn it into anything else has kinda failed
