About Micro Blogging

Ina, how do you think that a merging (so to speak) of the Social Network platforms will effect the micro blogging networks like Twitter, Pownce, etc.?

Good question

I'm not a Twitter-er, but I do wonder whether that's really a separate service long term, or just a feature of other types of social networks and blogging tools.
messenger on mac a great experience???

i can't believe some of the nonsense that was said in that
interview... Messenger a great experience on the mac??? It's
hardly changed in years and is so far behind the windows
version that its just not in the same ballpark. Do Mac users a
favour MIcrosoft..KEEP out of the mac business.... we dont need
your insult of messenger client, and pretty soon we wont need
your office app. There was so much spin here that I'm dizzy after
reading it. Ina I'm sad you didnt bring up the messenger issue
with him :-(
Al.
