I’m now wondering whether tools like Twitter that turn us into producers of content are actually changing how we consume media at the same time. So as I write (blog, tweet, microblog …) in short bursts, I start to read in the same way …

Thanks for the comment.

It's good news, in a sense, that the social network et al don't get small business because they are staying out of the way of people like you and I who are passionate about it but does illustrate that these people aren't often trying to be evangelical and attracting new recruits for the movement but are rather preaching to the choir and fighting for the attention of the already recruited. It's like watching tramps fighing over the last can of stella. For a long time it has frustrated me that the too-school-for-school crowd of Web 2.0 masturbators aren't interested in getting ordinary folks to do ordinary things (like promote their busines) and would rather impress their peers with their 17th geeky tweet of the day or a banal profile update on FaceSpace.
