I’m blown away. Who’d have thought that TechCrunch had run out of space for posts about Twitter that you guys would have to create a new web property, solely for the purpose of talking about Twitter (and some other fluff).

TechCrunchIT = TechCrunch Instatiable for Twitter?

Don’t get me wrong, Mike’s a nice guy, and I’ve had fun at the two bbqs I attended at his pad, but surely there must be something new in the world of IT to talk about besides Twitter? Maybe the hyperactive REIT and Datacenter market? Utility computing? Something besides Advertising and Twitter-addiction?

Glen, dMix– This hypothetical world-wide dynamic pub-sub architecture that Steve is always going on about (and using Twitter as an example for) has pretty radical implications for information technology.

Steve, have you talked much to folks like Tibco and webMethods (now Software AG) to see what their message brokers might be able to do for a track-like system? Seems like these companies will have a lot more experience in this realm than Twitter. I’d be interested to read some enterprise perspectives on the problem, if you have links. Enjoying your posts and radio show every time I get the chance.

If Twitter really starts shutting down services like twitterspy, this surely demonstrates that Twitter knows how important track is. That’s a good thing, albeit that it gives track addicts short term withdrawal symptoms.

If the withdrawal ends up being long term, then whichever developer/alternate service can concoct a methadone-like track substitute could walk off with the Twitter’s stash of users.

@1. If we limit Information Technology only to what it has meant, then we’re closing off many paths to new value creation. There’s something new and powerful brewing here. Why argue about what bucket it fits in?

I think you guys have no idea what Information Technology means IRL.
