The problem with Twitter is the message length and inability to follow a conversation. I reply to your message, and you have to go hunting to find my message, and if my post was a reply to someone else's message, the quest continues. Only with software like TweetDeck is it possible to view a conversation at a glance.

And the message length. I would have had to write the above paragraph in 4 separate Tweets to get it all out. I can't even get a thought started with 140 characters. To me, twitter is public text messages from exhibitionist celebs.
