not sure why VZ thought to include a twitter stream on this site, but it is the worst idea ever.
A.) all it does is make the page load slower
B.) nobody gives a hoot about the tweets
I understand that VZ wants to be on the cutting edge of technology, but this is not how to show it.
if VZ is really insistent on having this annoyance, then perhaps the twitter stream should default to disable, and will only be enable when the user (all 4 of them) enable it.
