I only this evening understood the power of dispersion on Twitter. It is the equivalent of spread spectrum over fiber optics. Fragment in small bursts and intersperce with noise traffic. Great system.

I have no interest in chat formats, but this is powerful. And the only way they can stop it is to cut all ip traffic, which they cannot do. They are trying to subvert the system with bogus account names, but he kids caught on immediately.

Kudos to the folks who put this in place.
