Twitter largely reminds me of when people started to register their own names for domains, turning the Internet into a giant customized license plate.

: In my opinion, marketing belongs on twitter as much as it used to belong on Usenet. That is, not at all. Twitter is public space, but not in the same way that myspace.com or facebook are.

: when I first started thats what I thought it would be like. In Truth all dayand all night, bloggers try to get you to their blog to read a story, or an invite to beta test a new service. It's all marketing, but, because I love tech, I don't mind. i want to check some of these new sites or articles out.I understand where your coming from though. If it only occurred every once in a while then it would be distributive, and annoying to the community. Unfortuatly, it happens all the time.Some of twitter's most vocal advocates are the biggest abusers of this system. Therefore it is what it is. BTW, I also wouldn't invite a stranger to my house party!
