Will Twitter Join Podcasting on the 'Net Sidelines'?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-i-need-to-know-the-minutia-of-everyone's-day dept.

Ian Lamont writes "Twitter has established itself in some quarters as a must-have communications tool, and its power to connect and even incite people is hard to deny. But does Twitter have long-term, mainstream potential? Or does a poor revenue model and strong competition mean that it's destined to be a sideline Internet technology, much like podcasting has failed to live up to early hype?"

    Podcasting is just wrong. period. I don't iCare iWhat iYou iThink.

    It's a video clip or audio clip and has only remote ties to the iPod.

    You might as well call it a YouTubeCast or something... sheesh, it's just a video clip or audio clip. Lets get off the iPod theme with this.

    And yes, you can call it an MP4 Video Clip if you wish... unless of course you always eat mashedpod potatoes and iGravy with your Mac Turkey.
