<i>It didn’t take long for Twitter users to respond: How dare Twitter mess with … Twitter. A self-described “social, search, and viral marketing scientist” named Dan Zarrella posted a passionate cri de coeur, writing that Twitter was about to “completely eviscerate most of the value out of retweets.” That night, Zarrella created a Twitter hashtag — another grassroots Twitter convention, which lets users group their conversations — called #saveretweets. A few tweeters liked the plan, but the general consensus was summed up by one user skilled in Twitter’s uncompromising brevity: “Very bad plan we hates it.”</i><p>When reading articles like this I always get the impression that what Twitter users like most is to tweet about Twitter. It's all meta and self-referential.
So basically they Wired is just writing about user-driven feature requests and spinning it into a "mob rule" meme? I'm not sure if that's what the article is about because I couldn't read past the capitalized "Retweet Incident" without cringing.
