Thanks!

I hope you did not feel as though you had to promote Twitter, or justify your use of Twitter. That was not my intent. I apologize for hijacking this post.

I've been hearing lots of talk of the service lately, which made me curious as to how others find the service useful.

Thanks for your feedback!

I know this isn't exactly a comment on this post, but I'm curious about some things:

Do you think Twitter is useful for people that don't own mobile phones? I can see having a mobile phone would definitely enhance the service, but what about people that don't have mobile phones? What incentives are there to use the service? I haven't owned a mobile phone since 1999, and seem to do fine without it. I'm on the fence when it comes to getting one.

What makes Twitter better then RSS feeds?

Does sending out “tweets” take away from posting on your blog? Do you find that ideas that you would have previously posted on your blog in a more fleshed out fashion are not making it there any more? Do you find using Twitter has increased the online conversation of your ideas? Does the limitations on length stifle other thoughts/ideas that you would like to share either in an original post or a reply?

Is it difficult to keep related comments/ideas together with constant comments/updates coming through?

I can see many advantages to using Twitter, but I also wonder about the drawbacks.

Hope you're having a great week and day!
