if twitter is to 2008 what the blogosphere was to 2004 than where does the old time "list of links" style ancient weblog fit into that analogy. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> and can we really take seriously an argument that hinges on avoiding flamer commenters at the same time that it recommends <em>YouTube</em>?

I just read that article, and I think he's completely wrong. Twitter is great, and it's fun to sling, but have you seen what <a href="http://www.1938media.com/twitter-report-on-britney-spears/" target="_blank">1928 media had to say about it</a>?<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Best to be like Rex and have both, and have the blog under a domain you own.

Some background conversation: <a href="http://www.fimoculous.com/archive/post-4626.cfm" target="_blank">If Fimoc had not existed for the past way-too-many years, and I had to invent something now... I would probably not try to invent a link blog.</a>
