Growth of Twitter Response
Kottke wrote an interesting post today analyzing the growth of Twitter versus Blogger and had some graphs that I thought were interesting.

From the graphs, Blogger has had an amazingly stable growth rate since it's time of inception. I'm really amazed how how consistent their growth has been in the number of messages that are posted with it. (I use blogger as well for my blog.)

For Twitter, it's growth in messages sent was massive over the last few months. Although it's far easier to send a message via Twitter because they're smaller than blog posts, it looks like a lot of people that are signing up for the Twitter service are sticking with it right now. I'm fairly skeptical when it comes to the success of mobile applications like Twitter so I'm surprised at it's level of growth it has been able to achieve. I also wonder what their revenue model is.  ¶ 6:42 PM 0 Comments

  Microsoft, Yahoo and Silverlight I think Microsoft needs a web success in order to push Silverlight and a massive way to really test and develop it's usage. Having a bunch of Yahoo! applications using Silverlight would be a big help to them and it's already an impressive looking technology but with the backing of the Yahoo! web developers it could be even better. I'm not sure how many Yahoo! web developers use .NET though.  ¶ 7:53 PM 0 Comments
