But it's an interesting entrant, and I'll be curious to see if people pick up on it. Other than "Twittering," we haven't hit consensus on the right term for this thing--a telling phenomenon in and of itself.</p>Sarah MilsteinFri, 07 Nov 2008 18:49:09 -0000http://www.stoweboyd.com/message/2008/11/battle-of-the-t.html#comment-3594618<p>Sounds like a sleep disorder.</p>stoweboydFri, 07 Nov 2008 12:23:51 -0000http://www.stoweboyd.com/message/2008/11/battle-of-the-t.html#comment-3594373<p>I take your point on the casting connotation.</p><p>Since Twitter is like the world's virtual water cooler it reminds me of a term from the uk - having a "natter" - an informal conversation. May be we should coin the term "micronatting"</p>ekivemarkFri, 07 Nov 2008 12:11:56 -0000http://www.stoweboyd.com/message/2008/11/battle-of-the-t.html#comment-3592750<p>Has the problem of sounding like broadcasting, where someone is publishing to the masses.</p>stoweboydFri, 07 Nov 2008 10:38:57 -0000http://www.stoweboyd.com/message/2008/11/battle-of-the-t.html#comment-3592727<p>Right, but too geeky.</p>stoweboydFri, 07 Nov 2008 10:37:34 -0000http://www.stoweboyd.com/message/2008/11/battle-of-the-t.html#comment-3573472<p>I cannot help but think that Twitter nailed it when naming the service. The name is accurate (I would not even call it a metaphor) and at the same time has a certain poetic appeal - a rare combination, that IMHO is one of its key success factors.</p>KristianTThu, 06 Nov 2008 14:10:48 -0000http://www.stoweboyd.com/message/2008/11/battle-of-the-t.html#comment-3572697<p>May be we should use the term Microcasting instead of micromessaging. It is like sms texting but we broadcast to groups of listeners.</p>ekivemarkThu, 06 Nov 2008 13:24:27 -0000http://www.stoweboyd.com/message/2008/11/battle-of-the-t.html#comment-3572220<p><a href="http://twitter.com/ppearlman/status/993633033" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://twitter.com/ppearlman/status/993633033">http://twitter.com/ppearlma...</a></p>ppearlmanThu, 06 Nov 2008 12:55:31 -0000
