i agree with this article. I've always seen services like twitter as a life/communication broadcasting medium. - Justin

That's debatable. But what it's not is just another IM-type service that this guy seems to be saying. - Tom Landini

ugh... these "let's start a weekend bitchmeme!" posts are getting old. - Sam Harrelson via twhirl

@Justin - thanks :) - Steven Hodson

@Tom Landini - how would you say that it isn't similar to other IM services? - Steven Hodson

@Mark Cross - glad you enjoyed it - Steven Hodson

Maybe it's macro-IM'ing? - James Joyner

I think we've discussed it when the problems started.. i agree, but it's more then IM it's a many-to-many IM rather one to one - Naor

Steven - I agree that you can use twitter like an IM service, but it offers so much more. Simultaneously update everyone subscribed to you. And indirectly, everyone else via search in real time. Plus the location features make the search that more powerful. - Tom Landini
