Almost exactly a month ago, I blogged about “blogging vs. micro-blogging“. I now have a couple more pieces of data, which I think confirm the points I made in that first blog.

I’ve been slowly accumulating new Web 2.0 material during the past month, and it’s time for an update. As usual, you can access the presentation in a variety of formats, although I haven’t yet had time to upload the “ugly Betty” version to Google Apps.

Michael Krigsman has a provocative posting this evening on his ZDNet blog titled “Twitter is Dangerous.” Michael, who is a very smart guy whose opinions I respect, seems to enjoy starting debates by making such provocative statements … and since I seem to be suffering a bit of indigestion from too many garlic-laced French Fries [...]
