I’m currently on my second trial with Twitter. The first time I only lasted a few weeks, mainly because I didn’t know anyone else who used it (ironically enough, I was “followed” by Fred Thompson for awhile, but only because I managed to follow him first…)

Twitter is evolving into a social media playground – I see a number of the social news/blogging users there, too and obviously you see your PR peers there as well. It’s a great mass communication medium… for the like-minded.

Thing is, I really don’t have a feel for how Twitter will do within the mainstream community (i.e. outside of us early adopters). In some ways it might poach some of the Facebook crowd who care less about sharing photos and more about keeping in touch with each other. However, since you really can’t seggregate Twitter conversations into groups (unless you use multiple Twitter accounts), I’m betting that many people will find Twitter to be too much like a crowded chatroom.

Good article.

At any rate, your comments

But let’s not hype Twitter to something it is not.
