I doubted how useful twitter would be untill recently. After going to a bunch of (un)conferences I wanted to stay in touch with the many great people I met. I used email, IM, linkedin, blogs and twitter. The only method that worked was twitter. It seems to mimic the kind of conversations you would have if you were sat in the same office as each other.
Thought this was pretty funny. But more seriously - twitter represents the atomisation of internet services - so moving from the heavyweight to the lightweight.<p>Do you think its growth is simply attributed to humans wanting to express themselves (like yelping)? Do you think twittering can become mainstream?
