 I'm going to have to say no. What they do is add an extra level of interaction between users. (and the ability to link to your blog handily enough as well) Has sms killed phone calls ?

Twitter for example - 160 chrs? not many people are saying very much in 160 chrs. But what they can do is say something short and point to a link. Very handy.

| Is twitter any use at all really? Whenever I look at someone's twitter it's all fairly meaningless - pointless messages. Give me a full on blog any day! Maybe I'm missing something? |

| why do people send sms messages ? ... a way of keeping in contact without talking to the person ... I see twitter in much the same light ... keep in contact with people ... ask a question ... post about a blog post and so on ... its more interactive... Its an extra way of communicating though |

| I'd have thought instant messaging would be more like txt messaging Seriously though, I asked because other then a cursory look at it, it's something that's passed me by mostly. So you just twitter back and forth having mini conversations, but that anyone can read but others can subscribe to? That's the main use? If so I wouldn't imagine it's really a threat to a full on blog. |

| Some of the more vocal twitter users are posting useful links and maintaining reasonably interesting conversations, though trying to make sense of any of it with the Twitter web interface is nigh on impossible!

| That's a bit of a mixed review! Any big Twitter fans here able to sell it's uses much better? |
