For someone so disdainful of the Internet, New York Times Executive Editor�Bill Keller sure fits the textbook definition of a troll. His anti-aggregation screed "All the Aggregation That's Fit to Aggregate" and today's Twitter-bait "The Twitter Trap" have taken up a good chunk of my New York Times paywall quota. If that was his objective, then well done Bill Keller. The part of me that wants people to be more clever than they actually are hopes Keller's "First" column is an attempt to stir the blog fight waters. After all, attacking the entire Internet is definitely punching up. But sadly, instinct (and the fact that his reference to Twitter users as Twits is supposed to be funny but isn't) tells me that this is not the case.
