Even Williams – Twitter

I was out with a bunch of French Bloggers last night and this morning and also broke my video camera (cursing as I was trying to find a Seesmic.com meetup in what appeared to be a non-existent café in a non-existent street in Paris, which I finally gave up on), here at LeWeb3, at Les Docks, listening to Evan Williams talk about the constraints of Twitter (which is essentially a Blogging platform without a lot of features that go with Blogging – using SMS which had advantages and disadvantages (short message size but not having to develop applications to use mobile – and using mobile rather than desktop computing.  There are many applications one could build on top of Twitter, Evan suggested (and gave some examples).  

BTW, I know of a survey I read about yesterday that claims that 6% of Americans use Twitter (but I know that Robert Scoble – who I could have bumped into at the Louvre yesterday) disputes that number and it seems high to me as well (I but the 6% is based on a panel which are often inaccurate).
