I read a neat evaluation of Twitter posted on scripting.com that sings the mini-blog`s praises. It counts Twitter`s eggs (possibly after they`ve hatched) as follows:

It`s a social network of sheep-people following one another in an endless, public notification system, with unlabelled arcs sliding around in an open identity system. (Tweet tweet tweet, I say.)

It`s also a micro-blog with the available space of a cell phone text – enough to say that you`re bored at school and stick in a link to hotasiangirls.com.

It`s also an interesting model for creating apps that will make you money, because although it`s free, (for the moment…) it hosts an ecosystem between users, their relationships, their media and their ideas. Ka ching.

It could be a nice, open and quick way to keep up with your life. It could be a them-watching-us creepy message board, but you decide. Cheep cheap.
