I laughed out loud when I read that. We should all be so lucky as to find 3 or 4 years of Twitter-caliber success with a new brand. In an A.D.D. society, there is absolutely a space for nimble and innovative people and companies to create sites and products that won't be relevant forever but add value today.

That's one of my favorite columns for a laugh but not a place to go for helpful advice. Notice that Lance's piece is riddled with the irony and attempted witticisms that he accuses Twitterers of using. The stream I follow on Twitter, on the other hand, is generally earnest and helpful.
