This is a much more eloquent way of describing what I've been feeling about Twitter recently, which is that I rarely tweet because I rarely have something I want to say to everybody. I've sort of chosen the professional realm for my tweets because that's what made the most sense, but I don't see it being widely useful until things can be filtered (aka. routed).</p> Ha!

I agree, the reason I have embraced FriendFeed and Plaxo is the control over publishing and aggregation, but I feel constricted in listening to scrobbled tunes, adding items to amazon wishlist, etc.. now. We need a way to say that we want to share something.</p> <p>Brilliant! :-D</p> This is really interesting.
