And hell, I may try it if only to have the chance to break bread with you, which is always wothwhile, no matter who's paying. If I do take the dive (only on a trial basis), you'll be the first to know, amigo. Jim, you're certainly not my only trusted friend/web guru who's been trying to convert me on the issue of Twitter.

You and I agree fundamentally. I haven't built my brand and reputation up to what it is in a short time... in online years. I've been doing this since 2001, and it has paid off and we're both right.<br><br>Quit underestimating the Twitter John. How about this? You give it 30 days of trying it. One update a day at least. If you still think it's crap after that, lunch is on me at Nates. Or vice versa. Let me know when you sign up so I can follow you.

I guess that goes to our larger disagreement about what constitutes real success. I think it's earned slowly, brick by brick. But after a number of years of doing the right things, it all comes together nicely. You're talking about a series of short-term tactics; I'm talking about a long-term strategy. And if you were to substitute A-list bloggers for widely read and closely followed writers, I don't think the argument that they've become passe holds up very well. Just as in any creative pursuit--movies, music, whatever, people accumulate favorite artists who have delivered something they're interested in over time, and thus they return to seek out their new material. That's a dynamic as old as the hills, and one that will never go away. And I don't see how tactical tools such as Twitter are in much of a position to really change that. But we'll see how that unfolds. Okay, then, we'll just have to disagree about that, or at least about what constitutes a long time horizon.

This also has led to traditional would-be A-listers growing frustrated with the new sites and avoiding them because their brand doesn't 100% carry over.
