From Steven's editorial:
It amazes me how anyone in all seriousness can even consider the inane twaddle that permeates the Internet from services like Twitter as even coming close to blogging or micro-blogging. Has anyone really paid attention to what is being said on Twitter these days – that is if you can make it through the growing amount of spam that is occurring. Sure micro-blogging is a valid term when used to describe things like tumblr or posterous but not when used to describe Twitter.
On Mashable Conversations today, Sean and I try to make sense of the debate and put together what our take is on it. Sean came into the discussion pretty squarely on Steven's side, but I was a bit unconvinced.
I'm one of those guys that views the act of blogging, for almost all purposes, as a form of conversation (even if it is occasionally a conversation with yourself). Thus conversation being a form of communication, it isn't a leap to classify Twitter in the realm of conversational tool (though I've always tended to view it more as a lifestreaming tool).
Also on today's program is another exciting episode from the SummerMash tour, this from the San Francisco tour stop with a conversation with the FiltrBox folks (who we had on Mashable Conversations recently ourselves).
