  "It turns out that the first time I read the piece, I guess Scoble was in the middle of that WordPress rejiggering, and there was no apparatus down the right at all; just the headline and the stream of link-rich, thought-rich, text. I really liked it. I was seeing, I thought, the core message getting the focus and respect it deserved, that’s all.
  
  I am arguing that:
  
  *
  
  Words are more valuable than pictures.
  *
  
  Text is more valuable than audio or video.
  *
  
  Twitter is more valuable than FriendFeed.
  
  At the end of the day, how could this not be true? Social networking gives me the warm-and-fuzzies and YouTube shows me what happened today in Iran, but action only comes from understanding and understanding only comes from explanation and explanation only happens in words."
