		<description>Wow, Twitter jealousy, dude?

1- &quot;Most Iranians couldn&#039;t name Jack Dorsey&quot; Hmmm...could most victims of landmines name the 1997 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize? It was...wait for it...Jody Williams. Betting more people have heard of Jack then Jody.

2- &quot;Twitter is a platform...To me that’s like nominating McDonald’s french fries for a pulitzer because so many writers enjoy them.&quot; Thanks, french fry eating genius. In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was a platform - and Al Gore accepted the prize. In 2005, the International Atomic Energy Agency was the platform - and Mohamed ElBaradei accepted the prize. In 2001, the United Nations was the platform - and Kofi Annan accepted. And...I repeat myself here...BUT in 1997, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines was the platform - and the aforementioned Jody Williams (the one who is less known than Jack) accepted.

3- &quot;Does anybody really think Twitter is going to bring peace and democracy to the Middle East?&quot; I don&#039;t know, but 15 years ago the award went to Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin for Middle East peace. They didn&#039;t do it. Do you want to demand their money back and strip away their medals? 

Get rid of your bile, put down the fries, and read a book once in awhile. Might help.</description>
