He's a great cyclist and one of the best Tour de France riders in history. On the other hand he has a rep as an egotistical jerk. I've been following the sport for almost 20 years, so for those folks who only know Lance from the TdF wins and cancer fundraising, you can talk to any long term fan and find out why some people don't like him. It's not just the French and it's not jealousy. My husband follows him on Twitter and he can be really funny and gives some good insights on the pro cycling tour. I think he's also encouraged some of the other riders who've been popping up on Twitter recently. I’ll state up front that I have a neutral opinion about Lance Armstrong, athlete.

If you don't like the Twitter stories, don't read them, simple as! As for Lance - again why so bitter and twisted about a guy who is fiercely competitive, someone to be hugely admired and inspirational. I can only imagine the type of people who feel it necessary to be so aggressively critical - get a life! Anyway TC keep up the good work - oh and let me know if you need a guest interviewer for a Lance update interview. So much negativity in this comments stream – why?

That's why. Not because someone else won the Tour de France. Others have been winning that damn thing for decades. Lance Armstrong must have brilliant PR people. Everyone knows he's a cheater and liar. But he still managed to turn from a worm into a butterfly. So close to the people through Twitter, so innocent -- almost like nothing happened. Yay for Lance.

What disturbs me is that a lot of commenters don´t seem to understand the viral phenomenon. Paranoid people with a huge sense of self-importance and seriousness tries to tell the "stupid masses" whats going on; there is "PR push" for Twitter. Twitter has bought Techcrunch and of course just about every newspaper on the planet. For example, here in Sweden the twitter-usage by journalists has provoked interesting debates about transparency and reader involment. This doesn´t happen very often and I think it´s a fantastic phenomenon. Twitter is disruptive,gamechanging, inclusive, open, fast,simple and easy to use. The perfect startup. Why wouldn´t Techcrunch wanna write about it? I guess some will say that there was a "huge PR push" for Skype, Youtube, Google, Blogger,Facebook etc. What those poeple fail to realize is that a good internetservice always sells itself. You can´t promote internet services through advertisments or buying journalists, bloggers or whomever, it has absolutely never worked. So, in my opnion, Twitter deserves it´s success and every article written about it. I liked the article.
