I seriously thought I'd invented the term "macro-blogging", but no. It already exists. RE your post: No worries, the wordy, the wordsmiths, and the bloviators of the blogosphere will never let macro-blogging die :) As for Twitter, I feel like it can be used to draw traffic to better venue for discussion. So I'm not too worried about it yet. I found this post on Google… I seriously thought I’d invented the term “macro-blogging”, but no. It already exists.

As for Twitter, I feel like it can be used to draw traffic to better venue for discussion. So I’m not too worried about it yet.

I didn't use the favorite-ing feature much on Twitter when I first got started, but now I've been using it relentlessly to save links to important articles I want to go back and read later or for comments/posts I feel I should go out and respond to. I've certainly been racking up a lot of those types of tweets, but now the issue is getting back out there and <em>actually</em> responding to them. Gene, you’re exactly right.

A few months ago I started to highlight tweets that would be an idea or thought that could be extended or followed up. Right now I am up to 512. I see you are at 216 so am wondering if you favourites also fall into that category. How true, and your comment about good discussion topics going to waste because of the 140 character limit.
