Dowd’s assessment that Twitter is a stupid tool simply because a lot of people use it to write about eating hamburgers is so unbelievably asinine it hurts. That’s like hating the guitar because of the Jonas Brothers, or cups because of urine, or the printing press because of Maureen Dowd.
Regardless, Biz and Ev handled the interview remarkably well. Dowd’s constant attempts to make snide remarks about the service end up falling flat, being no more than the common observations of the average Twitter bystander who hasn’t bothered to explore things like Favrd. Biz and Ev prove their point brilliantly through example, packing more punch, wit, and insight into each one of their concise responses than Mrs. Dowd is able to manage in her entire article.
