I’m in a much better place after stopping Dodgeball.

So, is there a niche here for each, or is there a one-size fitting all?

From the article:

“I’m a little annoyed by some of these newbies,” said Tara Hunt, a 33-year-old marketer in San Francisco who complains that many users seem to be focusing on quantity over quality in their updates.

Bingo.

I’ve been totally sucked into Twitter now, so I’ve kind of let Dodgeball fall by the wayside. This “issue” won’t die, though. Fascinating.

Having signed up for Twitter while at SXSW strictly for the purpose of finding/keeping up with people, I’m positive that my previous assertion regarding Jenni and Friends (TM) using Dodgeball in a Twitter-like fashion was dead on. And we can continue to argue whether or not that’s appropriate. I’d rather not, though.

Just sign up for Twitter, I say. And upgrade your text message plan.
