I feel like every blog entry needs pizazz but a tweet is by nature not a very impressive thing, and that's its beauty. Like so much else about the participatory web, it revises our notion of what is significant and makes us see that everything we do is potentially meaningful in some way. I find most other people's "about me" entries on Facebook and MySpace utterly banal most of the time (fantastic! another person likes Garden State!) but when it's you and your friends making and reading these things, it's totally different.
