The (Joomla versus Drupal) scaling issue is mostly about hosting the content of the site and making requests for information to a server (hopefully in the cloud, where all of our heads should be by now).

...one of the challenges of all the bloggers and all of their followers including you know new media and more you know creative ways of telling stories and that kind of thing. As more and more of that comes there is also a greater risk for inaccurate materials and inadvertent direction of readers if people talking an information. Now do you think AirCongress and other companies are that are other organizations that are collecting news online doing a good job at trying to help people be better reporter?
Twitter is an addictive technology. The number of adapted applications is phenomenal, these allow you take twitter and post media along with your 140 characters, aggregate groups and take twitter on-the-go. Social media has already been infested with spam. People still handle it differently.
