Agree with most of the commentators in this article. Twitter isn't any more of a new paradigm than blogging, RSS or other social networks ito of personal news/interest broadcasting. It's just a different format/channel that may suit people with short attention spans, short on time and happens to suit a mobile device better than the rest. - Neill Adamson

Who knew these pictograms had a name! I've been searching for these forever but never knew how to accurately describe them (elipses, half-moons, semi-filled circles). I stumbled across this link while reading Ian Kenedy http://everwas.com/2008/10/lea.... U can even get a ttf font, so no more creating them myself. Hurrah! - Neill Adamson

It was reading Mike's books at varsity that got me interested in BPR and led me to my thesis and honours degree in process improvement. That in-turn led me to me first job as a process consultant and through that chain of events into main-stream tech, the web-bubble and finally Web 2.0 and beyond. RIP Mike. - Neill Adamson

This is a great concept that should be explored by all the stream aggregators like FriendFeed. It's the visual appeal and simplicity that would make understanding a person's interests and on-line behaviour so much simpler to understand. - Neill Adamson

Hey Jonathan,
Great article, and its nice to see Africa getting some focus for a change. Often, tech news here is shadowed by what is happening in the rest of the tech world.
There's a lot happening in South Africa, and not just by start-ups. Companies like Naspers/MIH/Media24 are investing heavily in internet initiatives too. As an example check out http://blogs.24.com to see a highly active blog community using platforms built and hosted in South Africa.
I look forward to seeing future African articles. - Neill Adamson
