I've seen a couple of stories on this product and while it seems very good at what it does, what it does is *violate* the whole Twitter paradigm.

Tweets are meant to be light, lighter than IM, unidirectional, and gone forever right after they are tweeted. The whole concept of storing, cataloguing and reviewing or saving past tweets goes against *everything* Twitter was originally supposed to be.

Why would I want this extra management job of sorting and saving my tweets? If it's a two way communication it should be in IM or email. If the things being tweeted are so "mot juste" that you want to save them ... put them on a stupid T-shirt. It would be a lot closer to the point of what Twitter is supposed to be.
