[Ben Walker](http://ihatemornings.com/) is doing such an amusing presentation on Twitter that I almost forget I should be blogging it…
He’s taking as his thesis the assumption that Twitter is Babble – and that babble + context = conversation, and that’s where the value is.
[![Twitter is Babble?](https://i1.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2009/09/babble-thumb-500x168-1434.jpg?resize=500%2C168)](https://i0.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2009/09/babble.jpg)
Oh, to hell with it. This is a presentation you’ll have to wait for the video for. Sorry.
Liveblog FAIL. 
But at least I got to see a live performance of [this](http://www.onemanandhisblog.com/archives/2008/09/youre_no-one_if_youre_not_on_t.html).
