I think Twitter is a little bit different than a planet. To me a planet
is a lot more representative of the project as a whole than individual
personalities. Twitter comes off as a lot more representative of the
individuals own voices. I think because not everyone understands what a
planet is, they assume some kind of editing (which some planets have) of
membership and content, like a newsletter or something.

Re: reflexive whining, I really don't give a crap about ubuntu, which is
why I don't care to read about it on my planet.

(ps Wouldn't it be a lot cooler if Mozilla used identi.ca rather than
twitter for mozillafavs?)
