BTW @Roger, Twitter having the IM/chat aspect mashed up with email/blog-like/commenting asynchronous features is exactly the reason for Twitters success. As the post mentions, the crowd-sourced aggregator/guide function that Twitter users are naturally/effortlessly fulfilling is exactly what other crowd-sourced "search" tools like Mahalo have failed to resoundingly deliver.
