It depends upon how you want to interface with people, and how
people want to interface with you.
Let's say you're a Barack Obama supporter. Do you want to have
to go to a blog to find out what he's doing, or do you want to see
his updates in a service that you already use?
Re "is ignorance bliss," depends upon your perspective. I enjoy
reading his stuff when he talks about things that interest me. A
lot of his communication is via video, however, and I don't have
the patience to watch a 5-10 minute video.
@oemperor Yes I'd prefer
that Obama feeds were restricted. Not because I'm British (I'm more
interested in USA politics than UK at the mo) but because it is
really easy to add a RSS feed.
It is a fine line between self publicists and popular people. I
think I know the difference, but it is difficult to explain.

I'm not a tech person, BUT.
If someone has 25,000 followers wouldn't he/she be better with a blog rather than a twitter feed? Apparently they are important.

BTW I'[m kind of proud that although I've heard of the guy (had to) I don't know what this Scoble guy does or why he is important. Is ignorance bliss?

@WaveyDavey001: Yes, in Scoble's case, it really is.@oemperor: I'd rather a dedicated Obama blog, with services like Twitter filling in the gaps.
