I found Instapaper a couple of days ago - it's a really nice tool that serves a real need.

What do you expect from a free service with no sources of revenue? I'm only half-kidding but if this continues, Twitter's status as the hot new kid could evaporate sooner than later.

Re: If Twitter Breaks in the Woods and No One Can Tweet About It, Is It Really Broken?

The fact that Twitter may be broken is healthy for the already overloaded Twitter Nation.

Go outside, enjoy the sunshine and warmth, particularly in the northeast part of the hemisphere where we've had neither sunshine or warmth since, well, last September.

This must have been like when Comdex was at the height of its popularity - a Super Bowl for technophiles. Maybe I'll be able to pull it off one day.

Re: Sarah Lacy on Sarah Lacy and the SXSW Mark Zuckerberg Keynote

Having watched the interview via Viddler, it's nowhere near as the disaster some people make it out to be. That said, it was an interview that could have been much better. Perhaps the biggest issue is Lacy conducted an interview that she wanted to do as opposed to the interview the audience wanted, which explains why things got sour so quickly.

Personally, I question the call by SXSW organizers in having Lacy interview her friend, Mark Zuckerberg, because it calls into question her objectivity given they have a personal relationship. As much as you want to be 100% objective, it's pretty much impossible if the person you're sitting across from is your friend.

As an ex-journalist, I guess the other thing that disappoined me was

her lack of grace under pressure. I expected more from a person with her professional experience.

Now, that's a good blog post given all the focus on how to get people to follow you, and who to follow on Twitter! Lots of solid advance for anyone looking on how to really use Twitter.
