Twitter is blowing up in a big way. Serious media coverage happening. Early adopters are going from majority to minority in a short period of time. I don’t like relying on 8-12 external services to make Twitter as comprehensive as I prefer it to be.
And why aren’t more web properties accepting OpenID, Facebook Connect and assorted Google services? Straightforward to implement, what’s keeping websites from making these services available?
Twitter could easily become a primary marketing channel. Kind of Like Myspace leapfrogging over Facebook. Back to basics.

The new Facebook profile, is too lifestreamy, agree or disagree?
