Do you think that Twitter has helped or hurt the political world?

I think that Twitter is a frightening symptom of the increasingly impersonal attitude and short attention span that people are developing toward each other in general. It's a strange way to communicate with people - very short sentences in which it's a real challenge to express anything with depth and substance. But then again, no one seems to want depth or substance anymore - they don't have the time for it and it has become boring. It's like Twitter is a way of saying to each other "Will you just get to the point?" All of the time.
