Glad to hear you like the blog! I meant the post as a short rant because of the “conversation platform” comments regarding Facebook statuses and Twitter. I did not give the topic a thorough examination, and you raise some of the points I would have said. Can you have a conversation on Twitter? Sure, but it is really difficult if you have more than a few hundred subscriptions. The Facebook acquisition offer was really laughable when you looked at the details, so it really doesn’t count I am talking about a real offer loaded with cash and some stock. Facebook status updates may not be great but Twitter has little extra functionality and with their user base could quickly have more active users. This could relegate Twitter to the tech and early adopter crowd.
