Reminds me somewhat of the Google/Yahoo! dichotomy and the fact that some have said that's gendered too ... I'd agree: I consider FB status messages more intimate than Tweets. One big reason is that FB has very different defaults concerning privacy. And, yes, Twitter is very much a medium of self-promotion, whether your audience is 10 friends or 10,000 strangers. Not much different than a blog in that sense. Though for some crazy reason I think I have more Twitter followers than people who sub to my RSS feed, and I've only ever tweeted once. Not sure what _that_ means. Interesting distinction, Don. Reminds me somewhat of the Google/Yahoo! dichotomy and the fact that some have said that’s gendered too …
