re-tweet

petegilbert - 29th of Jan, 2009 I agree that Twitter can often be frustrating and time wasting. I hate having to search through people’s Tweets to catch the start of a conversation. But in a way it’s strangely fascinating, like maybe you shouldn’t be reading it… I do like Friendfeed a lot but find it almost impossible to get my local active group of Twitter people to use it. I post stuff on there and it just goes into a void.

Having used Friendfeed intensly for the last two days and through reading this post I believe that twitter is on it’s way out for early adopters for one fundamental reason. The re-tweet. Twitter is over simplified for anything but IRC like conversation and as a result of this for passionate users such as myself we bounce from the walls of twitter without an opportunity to escape it. We see links but know nothing about them.
