      <![CDATA[@D. Patrick Rodgers - your answers are:<br />
- It doesnt take the place of anything, Its something, in my opinion, wholly new. (maybe its taken the place of all the truelly crappy media out there like TMZ, People magazine and Inside Edition.)<br />
- Facebook/MySpace is for keeping up with your friends, Twitter is for keeping up with celebs, news, etc.<br />
- For instance, on Twitter Ive talked to Andy Dick, Kevin Nealon and Amber Benson..

      <![CDATA[I broke down and started tweeting, became a tweeter, a few weeks ago. But following fewer than 50 twatterers, I find the wheat-to-chaff ratio to be far too low, and the rate of fire far too high.

      <![CDATA[Also, now that more locals are twittering it up, can we please start using Coolfer's <a href="http://twitter.com/8means8" rel="nofollow">8means8</a>? Getting updates on what order bands are playing in and what time they're playing seems like a super awesome use of twitter to me.

      <![CDATA[I usually hear a bunch of stuff over the course of my day that I think would be interesting to people who read my website, but I tend to be too busy/forgetful/lazy to blog about all of it. I use the twitter for that.<br />
So Caleb, to answer your question, it replaces my guilt over being a shitty blogger.

      <![CDATA[My advice: You should have a twitter account if for no other reason than to get Shaq's tweets, and possibly a few other celebs or media outlets that are funny or provide interesting links. That being said, don't update your twitter if you are already saying the exact same stuff on facebook.

E-mail replaced letters, IM replaced talking face-to-face. Skype is a replacement, and improvement, over a landline.
