I wouldn't disagree with you, Andrew -- the downtime is frustrating,
and I wouldn't be surprised if something came along and stole some of
Twitter's thunder (although both Pownce and Jaiku have tried but not
succeeded, as far as I can tell). It's really the phenomenon I'm
interested in, not so much the specific app.

Heh, Joe, you do realize that if ego/geeks had electron-scanning microscopes, that would probably one of the most killer gadgets of all time?

My god, I'll take two. Make it four.

It's funny, all the Twitter love on Techmeme got me thinking this morning. Put me in a reflective/retrospective mood. I obviously blogged about it:

Twitter is like navel-gazing with an electron-scanning microscope.
