Bob Morris seems to be in a rather angry mood, but I think he may be  
referring to the milder puzzlement you expressed over Twitter. Need I  
remind you that you are only now, finally, a reluctant blogger ;-).  
Like you, I do not quite understand Twitter... but I think some of the  
reasons for its success are the underlying technology. You can share  
short little updates on Facebook, with more features available as  
well. But the Twitter API provides better ways to interact with  
Twitter and mesh Twitter with other applications and services (I  
suspect; I haven't look into the API in any great detail).

Reminder to all: add your own blog link (use tag: lbo-talk, blog) and  
share other interesting links (do not use tag: lbo-talk) at:
