On Mashable (twitterer/blogger) Steven Hodson argues that ‘Twitter is Not a Micro-Blogging Tool’. In Steven’s view Twitter “is no different than another service that we have had for a very long time on the Web and it’s called Internet Messenger or Gtalk or any number of messenger type services“.
This qualification is partly confirmed by Scott Hanselman’s musing explaining why he hasn’t used Instant Messaging for anything significant in months. Read in ‘Twitter and The Uselessfulness of Micro-blogging’ what elements make Twitter special.
What’s your opinion about ‘Twitter as micro-blogging’ tool? Are you (like Steven) ‘insulted that Twitter is even considered to be in the same field as blogs or even micro-blogs’??
