• Turns out #linspire is so desperate to deflect criticism (for #freespire also) that it has become a purely ad hominem smear campaign of false equivalences against people, not messages or substance. This means they've lost the argument.

• It's difficult to look at #twitter without realising that each year it becomes less relevant than the previous year. Shareholders sued and won; Twitter is faking it, trying to come across as a lot more important than it really is. People ought to get back to blogging.
