Twitter is not a chat room... or does it just feel that way some times

Dave Winer - "Twitter is not a chatroom." And yet, it sure feels like that at times. I've been twittering now for a few weeks and being part of that conversation has been a good experience and i plan to continue. But, there are times when it feels more like a chatroom than anything else. Lots of @XXXX conversations can be hard to follow unless you're part of that particular "meme" and of course, how good people's twittering skills are. As someone who often needs to think in soundbites, I can tell you that saying something interesting in the 140 characters is clearly an art.
