> If you don't fire up the app every few hours do you risk missing a crucial link or update? One thing that's always bugged me about twitter - its so transient. when you log on you only get a snapshot of what's happening at that moment - scrolling back through the days or weeks traffic is next to impossible because of the sheer volume of content. But in this way, the OP of this thread is correct - Live is most definitely where twitter is king.
