Well, this has got to take the cake. The official trade rag of the legal industry — a notorious technology backwater for decades — is publicizing the wonders of the Internet social networking phenomenon Twitter. And that’s not all.

Yeah, and the ABA will single-handedly solve global warming and welcome the messiah to Earth.  That would apparently be Messiah 2.0 now!
