Well, late to the conversation as usual... but saw this post and it's so thoughtfully written; you've given me something to ponder. The analogy is apt, even for those of us who watched the beginnings of Twitter from the sidelines. I definitely get who the Bonos and Jaggers are; and it's a bit of a headspin, following all the @s. I'm trying to figure it out as I go along - and now I'll be figuring it out wondering if it's time to "go home and put my headphones on..."

Thanks for the great blog,
Merredith

Interesting view on Twitter! You could always change your settings to block all @'s if you'd like..........check out the blog post I wrote on this:

Remember, this is coming from a brand-new Twitter user, I just started at the end of December!

sam,
i've only been twittering since around fall 2007 and even i have seen a major difference since i started. if i see too many @'s when deciding to follow someone, i don't follow them. i almost feel like i'm intruding on the conversation they already have going and i would't be able to follow it anyway cause i came to the party too late!
great blog,
sue

lol... thanks, LinkerJPatrick. Lost is probably my fav tv show and the analogy is perfect (as much as I hated Charlie and that song even though it was stuck in my head for weeks after first hearing it on the show).

I'm not sure if you follow the T.V. show lost but one of the characters (killed off but doesn't mean he won't still be on there in a flashback, etc.) was Charlie of the band, Driveshaft. They're hit song was, "You All Everybody" and that title reminds me of Twitter!
