Stephen Colbert Interviews Twitter Founder @Biz Stone
Stephen Colbert's interview with Twitter co-founder and apparent hipster Biz Stone was full of zingers, puns, and Stephen accusing Twitter of causing the Hudson River plane crash landing. Somehow Stephen managed to come off not as old and out of touch as one might expect, probably because people who tweet about every mundane aspect of their lives are actually annoying and boring, and texting during a conversation is actually rude. Oh yeah, and he says "twat" again. It's his favorite word.

If only this interview had been conducted after Demi Moore saved a woman's life using Twitter this morning!

I would hardly expect Stephen Colbert to come across as old and out of touch.
Score = 7
I believe it's a pun on wrought, "twought", not "twat".
Score = -2
How am I JUST NOW remembering to follow Colbert on Twitter?

Did anyone else sense a little defensiveness in Biz Stone's demeanor when Colbert mentioned Pets.com. Apparently the wounds of Web 1.0 have not fully healed on the Web 2.0ers. And Stone's "I was SO BORED at my JOB" really comes off as him being a self-centered dickcan with a revenue-less fad website under his care.
Score = 4
