Since the commenters at TechcrunchIT get so aggravated anytime Steve Gillmor writes a post about Twitter’s value in the enterprise (corporate) environment, I feel compelled to provide them with two breadcrumbs on their road to clueful.
Both of those say in 140 characters or less what I spent the better part of zillions saying in the comments here.
You can find me on Twitter here, and on Identi.ca here. I recommend Identi.ca, even though it’s in its infancy, because there is a huge community effort underway to build an infrastructure that will scale, grow, and play nice with similar services. I’m currently using identi.ca to post to twitter, so I don’t lose touch with the community and friends I have over there, but identi.ca has much stronger potential to spawn microbranded communities that can still reach out to the larger community at will. Using the identi.ca architecture permits me to place that identity at the center of a larger circle that includes Twitter and other communities.
It’s all interesting, all still in its infancy, and yet, as Kathy says, there remains a low barrier to entry.
