I'm an old people, and I didn't really know what it does. Links to those sites? Why would I go "here" to go "there?" And hovering to show the link destination is turned off (why?), so I didn't click on anything. Because I'm old, and paranoid.
By "old people" I imagine he means less tech-savvy, not literally just people of an older age. The fact you're on HN means you aren't his target demographic :)
I wanted Twitter so I clicked on the "t." but that's actually for Tumblr. Looks cool, but I'm not sure it accomplishes its goal.
I would think it would be much more useful to write out "Twitter - This is the site that lets you post short messages or read short messages posted by friends and celebrities"
