I'm part of the crowd that still doesn't understand the efficiency of twitter in any environment other than average use. If you want to equate twitter's parallel with geek society because it's hard for geeks to get their non geek friends to use it, by all means make that the bottom line of your argument.
For me, I don't think it's an issue of who's a geek and who's not, it's more "who's going to leave their AIM or ICQ protocols to use something on the web that does the exact same thing?".
