@manton I read this and it made me think, and I hope this is not painfully obvious to everyone but me, of how the literary (or whichever) Twitter community has, in some ways, created an almost Micro.blog feel in terms of how they interact with each other. Not that all the other stuff isn't there, but when I drill down to the kinds of conversations that go on, they are not so disimilar in form--I mean of the conversation itself, not the form imposed by the platform--and even style to the conversations here on MB. I get the same feeling when I think of Jewish Twitter (Jwitter to some). I'm kind of in the middle of other work and don't have time to develop this thought further right now, but I wanted to drop this in here before the impulse got lost among all the other things I have to do today.
