SFGate published this interesting article about Twitter, which is sort of a microblogging application that’s getting a lot of attention and traction among the geekerati.
Twitter posts are supposed to answer the Twitter-posed question, “What are you doing?” The noise-to-signal ratio in the collective responses is significant. Viewing the public timeline of posts is reminiscent of going into a chat room: Lots of words, but not a whole lot being said.
Because each Twitter post is limited to 140 characters, it feels like there should some sort of mobile phone messaging use for it. It also feels like Twitter is an answer in search of a problem. Or a business plan.
