Hard to add to such a great post, but I'll try. Jeff Atwood described Twitter as public IM in a 2007 post entitled "When in Doubt, Make It Public". To me, the essence of Twitter is that it not only enables public conversation, but makes broadcasting the default, letting receivers decide how to filter. The filtering could be more sophisticated, but it's good enough--and simple to understand.
