Oh wow! They leaked screenshots of Twitter, only 5 years late!

Seriously though, does anyone care about leaked screenshots of a startup? Anyone at all?

So it seems like yet another social thingy, with quesions? And it's "hyper-local"? Twitter + Quora + Everyblock?

It is called 'hipster' after all.

I'm allowed to make these jokes, I was reading Foucault in my skinny jeans just moments ago!

(But yeah, it is kinda silly. I imagine that it has something to do with this whole 'nobody knows what it is' bit, even though... we do.)
