I’ve recently installed a relatively new WordPress plug-in from the good folk at Backtype. This is what it does: it scans the web, including social networks like Twitter and other blogs, for mentions of your post and draws those mentions in as comments on the post. This is a good thing in Twitter is about the real-time web; being in the flow. Once you’re following more than 100 people, it becomes an entirely different experience to instant messaging or Facebook. It feels like one of those adverts for the Information Superhighway in the 1990s: people and objects and destinations rush by. Sometimes you’ll stop and check in, 1. Send it to everyone you know. 2. Make a Google Maps mash-up out of the data.

The basic function of these sites is to show people you follow (receive updates from) who aren’t receiving your own updates. So |             | |||
