I think there is a problem with managing these kinds of conversations, but I strongly believe the concept of microblogging is not in of itself flawed. You hit the nail on the head in your second paragraph, highlighting weaknesses of Twitter, which other microblogs have tried to overcome. For example, Kwippy has threaded conversations, as does FriendFeed, as you point out. My take is that your hiatus is symptomatic of a deeper malaise, which is the difficulty of managing the deluge of information that reaches us daily, hence my model of a Personal Information Management System (PIMS) of which Twitter becomes merely a component, rather than the central engine.

This long holiday break has been the perfect time for that. I too have gone mostly dark on both my blog and twitter during the past two weeks. Instead, I've poured my energy into reading and rethinking my company's (and my own) social media program. I'll continue to do much of what I've already been doing. But, I've also recognized some deadends. And the pause has given me the chance to think about those deadends, where I had hoped that they would lead, and to find other ways to achieve those objectives. At the end of this review, blogging and Twittering are still very much at the centre of what I plan to do. Hopefully, I'll continue to see you in these places as well. “an opportunity to step back and think things through.” This long holiday break has been the perfect time for that.
