Is Twitter Rendered Obsolete By Google+? 456
suraj.sun writes with a ComputerWorld piece predicting the end of Twitter, at least in its current form. From the article: "It's only a matter of time before Twitter becomes a ghost town.

My problem isn't with chess at all. I think it's great, and really does teach you think differently than normal school activities. My problem is with the teaching it in school. A surefire way to guarantee that everyone will hate it, just like maths. They should instead insist that the children "stop wasting their time with silly games like chess", and watch it take off!
