I am also very skeptical of the need for something like this.
Not everything is designed to meet a "need".
I just had a conversation like this with some engineering students
whom I am teaching interactive media. My response was "what's the
point of text messaging when you can just call someone?". I think he
got it after that.
By the way, interesting to note that this Twitter discussion is pretty
tweety (tweetie?) in its nature.
