Depends what your criteria are for what would make one "better" than the other.
To some, being able to talk to other people about a product (i.e. popularity vs obscurity) could definitely make a product "better". A common culture counts for a lot to many people.
"This doesn't mean that their can't be defamation via Twitter"
Should probably be
"This doesn't mean that there can't be defamation via Twitter"
Glad the suit was dismissed. Though, since Twitter is only a communications platform, it's no different from any other platform. Libel comes from the communication, not the platform. You can be libelous in a newspaper, a leaflet, on television, or through a Twitter post. It's what you say, not where you say it.
Therefore, people downloading files from the Internet makes my cat have furballs.
...
Alternatively, the RIAA's shallow and baseless complaints and accusations against file sharers makes my cat feel dirty and he cleans himself constantly to rid himself of the guilt-by-association of living on the same planet as the RIAA's PR people & lawyers. This increase in cleaning has caused a built-up of fur in his stomach as the amount of daylight increases. Then, when he hears of the latest RIAA claim, he can't help but vomit. Violently. All over the place.
It may, but SEO is only a small fraction of Google's formula.
What made Google's search so successful to begin with was that it was built off of a trust network from cross-linking. SEO just helps Google return relevant pages, the actual ranking in the listing has to do more with the trust level of the site.
If you need to be 18 to get a credit card ... RedBox requires a credit card ... thus shouldn't it be safe for them to assume that people getting movies through them are at least 18?
If someone is under 18 and using someone else's credit card, then that's a cause of fraud and the person using the card is responsible. If a parent trusts their under 18 year old child with their credit card, would that parent also be by proxy approving their child to watch a Rated R movies ... which is restricted, not banned, meaning it's the parent's discretion (versus NC-17 or Rated X).
Just to point out a difference (and not to assume you're unaware of it), the iPhone was innovative but not inventive. While Apple changed the way people use their phones, it didn't necessarily do anything to redefine what a phone is.
Not a day goes by I don't read stories like "person tweets they're running errands and comes home to an empty house!" It's such a rampant problem that it overshadows all other news stories. It took me three weeks to hear of Micheal Jackson's death because of all the coverage regarding social media inspired break-ins. It's a plague¡
Wait, there are no stories ... because it's not a problem. Just opportunistic insurance companies playing off of media fear mongering.

If the person conceptually doesn't understand the difference between "your" and "you're", then it's a grammar mistake.
If the person understands the difference, but typed it incorrectly, then it's a spelling error.
