It seems like one of the things that exist when a medium is young and there aren't that many people using it. There were probably some celebs you could email in 1990 (or IM in 1997) and have them reply. I doubt this will last if Twitter grows much.
- ivankirigin 18y agoThere is definitely a problem in scaling this kind of application. Many people run into it when they start following more than, say, 400 people.
- rms 18y agoI think it could last. I wouldn't expect celebs to answer every message, but there's something inherently appealing to the 140 character limit that makes it feel more manageable.
