It hit the net this week that Twitter secured a large round of funding. Hopefully, this means that the service will be less likely to be “over capacity”, as it has been displaying that message frequently.

Twitter is no longer the only player in the space, with several other players now in the mix, including: jaiku, pownce, twoorl, kwippy, microblogr, etc. There certainly seems to be room for more players in this arena, especially if twitter continues to be over capacity.

Recently, a Harris Interactive poll revealed that people are moving away from email toward other communication forms, becasue: 59% say there is more immediacy with other forms of online communication, and 52% say there is more interchange (ie. it is more like having a live spontaneous conversation).

While I was personally hesitant to be active with microblogging, a micro-essay contest recently got me involved with it. Now that I am more involved with it, I am catching up on the twitter language, check out the twictionary.
