WI:No Twitter

Lets just say that for some reason, the concept behind Twitter never gets off the ground. Yeah yeah, "and nothing of value was lost", but seriously, what would be the ramifications?

Do you mean the concept of twitter itself as a “microblogging” social media site or the concept of social media?

Because if it’s the concept of twitter itself as a site (140 characters, constant stream of posts, etc) then something else will fill the void. The genie is out of the bottle.

An alternate American cultural short broadcast service occupies a similar niche. Slight changes to the poetics due to differing technical limitations.

Or are you asking if an entire national culture full of vacuous imperial court intelligentsia wouldn’t exist due to slight changes to media poetics?
