Twitter is clearly getting more TC coverage than any other startup in existence...On top of that, TC covers random and uninmportant events such as a 104-year old woman using Twitter (followed by a denial), an astronaut using Twitter (followed by a denial), a cat using Twitter, Kanye West not being happy with Twitter, ad nauseam.
This happened with Facebook too and to some extent Youtube. In my opinion TC are doing the same as most of the media:
People join X social networking site
Media writes about X site
People feel positive with a "hey, they're talking about X, I use X. This publication/site is relevant to me" feeling
