In reply to Beth. Yeah, I've had that same thought. It will be interesting if they eventually add the option to write longer posts, and 140 characters becomes simply an excerpt from an expandable post. At that point it will be very much like a blog aggregator.

In reply to Beth. Oh yes. I seem to recall reading his stuff in The Sun some 20 years ago.

And I really, really like Sparrow. Have known of him since the Whole Earth days; Soft Skull published at least one book of his work too.

Good choices, Dave. Thing is, once some of these folks would have been a good reason to follow blogs. But I don’t mean to carp: I like Twitter.

In reply to James C. Yeah, that's a real pain in the ass. Clearly, Twitter is preparing for its IPO, and needs to show a willingness to sacrifice utility on the altar of greed.

How do you feel about the forced images in the Twitter feed?

I don’t see ’em on my mobile device, which is good. But do on my laptop, which is a drag.
