Mike Butcher - mbites

I've got a personal hatred of people who use Twitter as microblogging - one way "conversations" which are usually done by splitting a single coherent argument into a three-twitter rant. My partner said to me the other day that she was fascinated by the way that I use Twitter, because for me it's like "slow IM" - which is true, but it's a public conversation. Ironically, Jaiku is MUCH better for this kind of conversational approach - so I'm really hoping that Google actually do something with it soon.
