DISQUS

I've been asking the same question. I see no advantage to using Feedburner. As a matter of fact, it delays my feed distribution unless I manually ping it. I'm done with Feedburner.

Chris Brogan (http://twitter.com/chrisbrogan) often posts twitter conversations like this. I think Darren Rouse at http://problogger.net/ has done this also but I can't find an example right now. Perhaps it was Tim at http://www.spyjournal.biz/ but I can't find an example there either.

Ok. I'll stick with @chrisbrogan

It's effective!

I should have added that as a blogger, if you want me to talk about your product, put it in my hands. If you send me a demo or a sample, I will use it and I will write about it. I will be honest and not always favorable. I just used a product that completely failed to live up to its marketing and I'm going to say just that.

http://twitter.com/z11 believes that courting bloggers is far more affective than main stream media.

I post mini-updates and pictures throughout my day

How do you post pictures through Twitter?

When Twitter first hit the scene I signed up but didn't get it. I could send a message to my blog from my cell phone where I had control over the content and could search it and edit it anyway I liked. Relying on Twitter felt like relying on any 3rd party solution (same reasons I dislike Blogger).

I am not sure what convinced me to change my view on Twitter but I gave a chance and realized that although I could post to my blog from my phone that people commenting on my blog didn't come back to me so Twitter offered a complete conversation that otherwise I'd miss.

Twitter has connected me to people that otherwise would remain mystical names in the headlines. Now I joke with our local newspaper's editor when in the past I would have just been a name on a letter.

I use Twitter to keep short posts off my blog. I use Twitter to solicit input and get suggestions. I use Twitter to feel connected to the world while working independently from my basement. I use Twitter for laughs. I use Twitter to stay informed! And I use Twitter to inform.

I forget who said it but I read some describing Twitter as IRC 2.0. Almost fits the bill!

ProejectReadon could be the answer http://www.projectreadon.com/

To put this in perspective, she is billed $222,000 for making songs available breaking copyright (and if I read the judgment correctly it was "for making them available" not actually distributing anything---that's like arresting me for possibly providing beer to children because I have a 6 pack in the fridge and people under 21 walk through my house) BUT a school bus driver gets busted for drinking on the job and is fined $482 http://www.twincities.com/ci_7094916?nclick_che...

Glenn Reynolds (http://instapundit.com/archives2/010264.php) sums it up "One offends a powerful interest group. The other just puts kids at risk." while summarizing James Lileks: http://buzz.mn/?q=node/2693
