Within the last week, our local daily and a television newsroom both opened Twitter accounts. It's been fun to watch them struggle with how to use it. I talked with the guy at the paper, and have him excited about more Inbound channels. "What if," I teased, "you had an army of local Twitterati roaming around the metro, sending you direct messages about things in progress..." The phone went silent, save for the grinding noise of mental gears turning... Michael, funny you should bring that up.

I was surprised, as a former hack, to see there may be a use or two for the big T among the scribbling class. http://www.journalism.co.uk/7/articles/531439.php i never have gotten beyond broadcast, i confess, and my twitter stream is now darker than the background on the site (which i like, btw).

Twitter will always have its spammers (what is definition of that these days?) and those who broadcast only. Most of us are broadcasting something though. I just got your Tweet, Joel, for a FB group. And came to your blog thru a tweet? Am I more *pure* because I only converse @ Twitter and send folks to my favorite places and not a blog ( got rid of my blog two years ago)? I think I am... ;-) Twitter is a *human* feed. A human RSS. An RSS with a conversation. And that is why it grows: simple and easy. (sure is dark in here… yikes!)

But I have to wonder. Is twitter allowing a lot of different paradigms simultaneouly? I would like to ha thousands of real conversations. No matter how many friends I get, I still want it to be a two ways street Good take on trends! But I have to wonder. Is twitter allowing a lot of different paradigms simultaneouly?

Biz and Ev have been content to let Twitter be a sheet, and allow us to project onto it what we want it to be. Twitter will continue to be a cool place to hang out, because there are still many neat people out there that I can connect with and interact with. The Scobles and Arringtons and others who are using it in a different way just simply don't appear in my Twitter stream. I don't worry about them, until they start preaching Holy Writ about how I am supposed to use it. But hey -- that's provided some great fodder for me and my Twitter-tribe, so it's still entertainment... I don’t think Twitter has committed any “Facebook-style” unpardonable sin.
