I was somewhat TIC on this post, obviously, and as I mentioned, I love Twitter - you and I wouldn't be corresponding without it - but I persist in the belief that names have serious consequences. Twitter is a poor name. I think that it will have a negative impact on the technology's growth. But I'm still using it, and still think it's a great tool.

I tend to agree, to some degree, that the notion that Twitter's moniker may be getting in the way of growth and wider adoption. "Twitter" as a brand name seems to connotate something trivial and inconsequential. And, as we've all borne witness to in recent weeks, in the hands of participatory social networking advocates, Twitter is anything but. Twitter's staying power will be predicated on the expanded uses that users discover for the application. ttp://roxanneblanford.blogspot.com/ Very interesting observations, Chris.
