… the less we, probably, blog — and comment directly on others’ blogs, and, generally, muse in the blogosphere about blog content —observes Brian Solis at TechCrunch, which throws into question “the future of blog authority in the era of micromedia.” And if some portion of the conversation (about blog content and not) is happening on Twitter and other micromedia, then don’t we need, as Solis asks, “a separate Technorati-type index for measuring the authority of content publishers on Twitter and other micro-media in their own right?”
Get with the program, guys.

This is pretty much really the answer.

Or this could be a Twitter bubble with Twitter peaking sometime soon and bursting.
I guess we'll see.

Ok, so all I've recently been reading is how Twitter is killing the journalistic prospective on the net. Honestly, I think this is contrary to popular belief. If Twitter is utilized in the correct manner and with the right followers, this social media forum can be used as a great article marketing tool! Another great site for bloggers is eZanga’s social network, http://www.HopOnThis.com. Right now they are running a blogging contest to get their users to generate content. It’s time to reinvent the blogger.

Excellent article. I have been networking with twitter for a couple of weeks now and I have met a bunch of interesting people. It is a great place to network with people.
