I think his logic toward Twitter is very flawed. Sure, you can get the bulk of your interesting news there from specific feeds, but where's the discussion? People use Reddit, HN, Slashdot, Fark, etc., because they could have conversations about each item.
People want to discuss how a story makes them feel and how it affects them. People need access to random people, that's why this doesn't work as well on social sites like Facebook. Finally, it needs to be at least psuedo-anonymous so people can explore their thoughts without real-life repercussions.
- justincormack 13y agoThere is discussion in twitter but not if you follow Scoble you need to follow people who interact and roughly follow and are followed by similar numbers of people. Its a very social medium if done right...
- Zimahl 13y agoNot to say Twitter isn't a fine medium but I personally don't think a real discussion can be had 140 characters at a time. It's a severe limit that just doesn't work (wrt discussions).
