I'm sort of unsure of this generally. It's certainly changed.

My examples are:

The gossip and snark of say Startup L Jackson vs the gossip and snark of a valleywag post.

IRC backchannels during conferences versus a Tweet Wall.

Those aren't good counterarguments in favor of Twitter.

Valleywag is dead because of reasons unrelated to the death of media (and I genuinely miss it). IRC backchannels are dead because IRC is dead.

Oh man. I'll have to tell Freenode that IRC is dead so they can shut down all of their servers.

> IRC is dead

I assure you, it is not.
