This entire comment section is proof positive that there is much room for innovation and improvement in the space for interactive, online discussion of news items.

Twitter is committing suicide by requiring phone numbers and logins to even read tweets, the way Digg committed suicide and sent all its users stampeding over to Reddit.

Reddit themselves are committing suicide with their aggressive user interface changes, and their dark gangs of out-of-control moderators.

Looks to me like USENET sent us over to LiveJournal sent us over to Digg, sent us over to Reddit, sent us over to Hacker News, and something good and new can grow and replace them all.

Because I am not handing over my phone number to read anyone's tweets.
