In the link blog, Anil writes "i fear it may take us another few years to live down the impression generated by this story." Anil, who is "us"? When you use the phone, you don't have to "live down" the impression created by teenagers chatting about crushes and parties. People who blog about social software and politics don't have to "live down" teenagers blogging about life -- just like the teens don't need to "live down" the grownups talking about car repair and jobs and insurance.
It's just communication. People say what they want to say. The medium and the tools let us say it. All good.
