After doing the 30 day challenge with Ed Dale, I had both friendfeed and twitter but friendfeed was so cluttered I turned the other way for conversations. I use tweetree.com to see what my friends tweets are in reply to – it inlines them to the twitterstream. I’d never thought of setting it up this way, though, and it makes sense.

Thanks for the clarification.

PS I love your analogy too. My usual practise is, of course, to find a corner and block most of it out. Low numbers of ‘follows’ on Twitter is pretty much the same thing, I guess…

Solid articulation of the difference between the platforms. Sometimes it’s nice to go to a bar to meet a few new people, but it’s usually necessary to find a quiet place to talk if you want to have any conversation of substance.

Well done.

Agreed. The core idea of Twitter or any meaningful SM is not to ’sell product’ but to engage in dialogue. http://tinyurl.com/93h2nq
