Maurice wrote a column this week sour on microblogs like Twitter. It is a shared and updated pool of updates about what you and all of your friends are doing (in 140 words or less). Microblogs like Twitter.com have some neat integrations with AIM, Facebook, Gmail and recently discovered an integration with http://www.hypem.com (a site that tracks 1000s of music blogs and makes them searchable).
Some news organizations are using this as a way to give breaking updates. http:/www.Twitter.com also hosted a really cool mashup with GoogleMaps during SuperTuesday. Did anyone catch that? I recently learned about http://www.twitxr.com, a photoblogging version of twitter. Users who like Twitter may also like http://www.tumblr.com
What are your thoughts on microblogz? Do you want an indy.com twitter feed?
The Twitterati totally told of journalist Sarah Lacy at SXSW who gave a pretty poor interview w Facbebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Another point for microblogging.

Twitter annoys me...it's worse than Facebook. I hate my Facebook account...every 5 minutes you get another post on your Fun Wall or any of a thousand other applications your friends have accepted. It's like e-mail chainletters for Web 2.0. Pointless, annoying, and killing millions of trees to provide the electricity.
I just signed up for twitter and I will give you some feedback in a bout a week after i check my myspace, facebook, gmail, music1point0, aol, IM's and blogg aggregators maybe I will never even get to twitter haha
