As no teenagers followed each other’s profiles, tweeting was “pointless”. - from 'Twitter is for old people'

I am rather well acquainted with Twitter, but this statement makes no sense to me. Who follows profiles on any semi-social site? Possibly this is a problem of translating english to english.

Not exactly 'on the heels of'. That article was biggish net news for a day in July.

What happened in July? The stuff I linked to all happened in the last two weeks.

I think tweets can be received on telephones, and that that's what they're talking about.
