What would you name the baby of Email and Twitter?
So ... why do people use Twitter, when blogs already existed?

What I mean is that most people who use twitter don't care at all whether the messages are on their own server or on a server owned by some company.

The same is true of most people who use email, but email still wouldn't have become as widespread as it is today if it weren't interoperable with other email servers.
