He remarked at the time, "Twitter is funny. It's really just you Americans finally getting a handle on SMS". What's "new" and foreign about Twitter, and the things it enables, is the fact that it's a truly mobile/portable app. Beyond that, the interactions aren't new, they're just more raw because they are very *now*. Love it.
