Nice post. I think some people don’t understand what Twitter is and how it is a platform more than a site.

I’d be interested to see any stats from Twitter that shows the distribution of clients.

My post speaks specifically about the intention of Twitter. Most Twitter clients provide automatic notification of updates. Most ‘blog’ clients (i.e. web browsers) do not; you need to make a specific request to a blog to determine its state.

RSS would be an exception. Accessing Twitter and Blogs via RSS feeds put them on an equal footing; I don’t have any stats, but I would think it a safe bet that RSS access is in the minority for most Twitter accesses

“When they do this they will automatically be made aware of your tweets through the client they are using to connect to Twitter.”

Really?

I only view twits through an RSS feed.
