I think you are right on with the marketing comment. I have been trying to figure out whether I wanted to twitter or not and it seems like it is evolving to a short message blast of "look at me and my product" drivel. I thought just this morning that political candidates could and probably will use it to "get out the vote" on election day or some other message.
And I agree completely about the inability to make sense of all of the intertwined snippets of conversation. I saw info on some new sites as you mention that are trying put tweats in context...they seem interesting.
But in the end I decided I am not going to twit. I really don't want to be that connected. Of course, I am not into SMS either or friending into the thousands. So maybe I am not the target demographic anyway
