Is Twitter succeeding? - Brian Sullivan

I guess I really mean that it continues to attract users. - Victor Ganata

Heh. - Robert Scoble

"Twitter succeeds is because people don't really" .... have anything to say LOL "They just want to be able to scream out into the void and listen for echoes." - Lora Lufark

But doesn't FF and Twitter have different purposes. FF for posting something and having a meaningful or somewhat meaningful conversation. Twitter post something that you want to push out to others and not really have a conversation. Different purposes, different apps. Can't we all just get along. :-) - David Fowler

Heh, David. But that's the thing. I actually think trying to make conversations easier on Twitter is counter productive. Two-way conversation is not the purpose most of its users actually use it for. - Victor Ganata

Victor, I agree, I think a lot to tweets are designed to drive traffic to websites and not just mindless chatter. Which to me is a great use of Twitter. It is very easy to miss portions of a conversation on Twitter. But not here. - David Fowler
