I thought about this more - while I was on the phone with Todd W this morning, and for some reason Todd reminded me of Marshall McCluhan, the Medium Is The Message --
What is the message for Twitter vis a vis email or ixda.org discussion or IRC? Each can be assumed to be nothing more than agnostic platforms, but when I choose Twitter (to reply to Dan Saffer), what am I saying? There are at least 3 people that I have started following where their twitters have led to some very interesting conversations - and this is within the last week. The "mundanity" of the twitters actually led to really great conversations that led, in turn, to a degree of intimacy (I hate this word - but let's assume from now on that I mean real connection/discussion and not the sexual type).... So it can inform and increase means of real communication - it just can't supplant it in 140 characters, yes?
