Twitter will replace blogs as the Web's best social tool. - Inspired by Robert Scoble's tweetstream

In Robert Scoble's latest column in Fast Company, "Stream of Consciousness," a few of his tweets from microblogging service, Twitter, were arranged in streams to express the conversations he had with others while using the tool.

In this week-long glance at his tweetstream, Scoble said, "Twitter is the public square. Lots of noise, little signal. Blogs are like a speech. Signal, but little noise ..."

With the rise of new social media tools, such as FriendFeed and Twitter, more and more companies are catching on to their marketing benefits, and many others are using the service as their morning and evening check-in for the latest in news and updates. Some argue that it's just a blogger, and tech blogger, playground, but lately, especially in the case of Twitter, these types of services are becoming more mainstream.
