Hmm, personally I think it is making blogs less interesting. If you have a job where you are sitting at a PC all day then you can keep up to date with all those bloggers who twitter away. If you are not then you just notice that the blog entries have less regular, the tweets are more regular and you can’t be bothered catching up, especially not where the tweets are HOURS after they happened and so the whole interaction thing is past tense or for other people. But I daresay the majority of bloggers and folk on the internet ARE sitting at a PC all day in their job. I’m in retail so not on a PC all day and am now a second-class internet citizen…

I’ve been a Twitter fan since it began precisely for the reasons you’ve outlined. I was delighted when Stephen Fry joined. I don’t yet know what to make of the sudden influx of other “names”. If they simply have a raft of followers then it just becomes another performance platform. It’s the interaction of Twitter that makes it interesting and useful.

There’s certainly a lot more noise on Twitter these days.

People are having a lot more conversations with one another, and starting to treat Twitter more like a very-short email service.

All this public conversation may be ignorable by people who’ve installed filtering software, but for the rest of us Twitter’s starting to feel more and more diluted.
