I just Googled for the Hell of it...300 was 2006 and TwĄtter was launched in 2006, but I would guess it really wouldn't have caught on big for a few years. However, the ones who talk about it are the computer geeks, and it seems to me that they're "cutting edge technology" people, so I'll buy that. Besides, it's all alternate universe anyway. The disappointing part of all the POP culture references (Glee and Jonas Bros in the newest one) is that most of that stuff won't be relevant in 20 years (heck, maybe even 10), so they've defeated any chance they had at longevity. Twilight might still be around in 50 years because there isn't anything (or much) in it that wouldn't still be as relevant as Jane Eyre and Emma are today.
