Senior Joe Laliberte, a Hatchet columnist, argues that Twitter is not the optimal way to communicate.

“The problem with Twitter is not in the simple idea of staying better connected. It’s nice to stay in touch with friends from high school, family and colleagues from past jobs. But Twitter represents the most insincere form that communication. Why not grab a beer or a cup of coffee? Instead, we get ‘tweets’ telling us that you just got out of the shower or you stubbed a toe. “
