But you need to consider that Steve does write for an audience (as well as himself). Some background: Steve's recent passion on the web is the real-time message delivery function that was/is Twitter's "track" functionality. Steve would open a GTalk window and connect to the Twitter "User Account" (via XMPP) and get a steady stream of realtime "inputs" from the huge community of Twitter users. Track allows you to input a text string and ANY TWITTER MESSAGE containing that string is send to your twitter message queue. So on a news day with heavy with events around flooding Steve might track "flood" and get a pure stream of link (Tiny URL's) to investigate the growing awareness of events related to the floods. As a career journalist that had to have lunch or phone contacts to stay current Steve sees this Networked OS like functionality to be a real game changer. Most of the post above celebrates and extrapolates that enthusiasm. Re-read it again now that you have some background. NOTE: To follow Steve is to know Steve.

You could have said the same thing, without any dumbing-down of the message, with much more accessible language. Steve, blogging is journalism.
