Has Twitter Come Full Circle ~ Already?

Mark Twain said, "If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed."
This was in an age where the only news was coming from the newspaper. Letters and gossip were the other sources of information, so where do you think he got his facts? Knowing Twain, he listened to what he heard, took in what he read and came to his own conclusions. Somewhere in the middle, there is always a truth. Somewhere on the edges, there is always a lie. Between the edges and the middle are the facts. This is why we're always beating around the bush, circling the facts, coming full circle, and in the middle of it.
So, which circle of information should we believe? Do we listen to the news, blogs, Twitter, or read it online? Like Twain probably did, coming to our own conclusions is the best way to go. This past week, Twitter gave us conflicting stories about its new method of operation and how it was going to give us its @ replies. First, it took away the ability to see the replies of people whom you don't follow. Many of us feel this defeats the whole purpose of Twitter. We like to see what other people say so that we can figure out whether or not we want to follow them. If they say something clever in their 140 characters, we'll go to their Twitter page, click on their website and see what they're all about. If they look like someone worth following, we'll follow them. Without the option of seeing @ replies of people we don't know, we have to go to the pages of each person individually we follow (or who follow us) and click on who they're talking to. It's time consuming and we often find more duds than dandies.
Twitter has given us bogus explanations and repealed some of the restrictions but other reports say that they aren't going to lift any @ reply restrictions at all. I'd rather be completely uninformed than so misinformed at this point.
So for now, I'm practically talking to myself and few select friends on Twitter (yawn!) and I'm growing stale in making new followers or finding new folks to follow. The social media aspect of it has diminished. What's next? Who's got the next best and biggest thing? I'm ready to move on. If the changes are going to remain, in my opinion, Twitter has come full circle…it's already too yesterday.
