Picking up the GTEX torch where I appear to have dropped it during the IPO: Jeet Heer on the Twitter essay

Like so many things in my life, the Twitter IPO loomed large on my horizon & I kept turning away until I could scale it properly. When that didn't happen, as with so many things in my life, I felt as if I could not move on to other observations about the use/abuse/evolution of Twitter until I had finished climbing the IPO mountain properly & could view the world from that summit of achievement.

So this blog, like so many things in my life,  has lain dormant.

But this observation by the great Twitter essayist Jeet Heer needs posting, and reading.
