I agree with only 1 of you anti-twitter points: lack of accountability. Besides that, I find the idea of microblogging pretty mind-blowing especially during national or international events. As twitter becomes more prolific, I think there is extreme value in the ability to gauge the world temperature through the various comments. The frequency of posts and vocabulary used will one day allow us to quickly spot exciting or menacing trends throughout the world. I think that the pros far outweigh the cons. Regarding FB, I continually find myself trying to use it less, because I have this impression that the data is so closed. Instead, I use twitter, flickr and my own blog. Maybe that will be addressed at some point, but for now, it seems that the accountability of Facebook carries with it a less open API. John,
