Amateur Radio in The Verge
A report in The Verge on an interview given by Twitter CEO Dick Costolo mentions amateur radio.
The Verge says:

It's tough to know if Twitter will ultimately come to the same extreme end as radio has, but as I listened to Twitter CEO Dick Costolo's conversation with Peter Kafka of All Things D at tonight's D: Dive into Media conference, I started to believe that Twitter could be in the early stages of the same trajectory.
