There was some talk about the need for this on Google Plus: http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20080274-264/hashtag-creat...

It is good to see that somebody made an implementation for this, but it might be hard to get people to post information to this service instead of/in addition to Google+/Twitter.

It's still early days for us but we're seeing pretty good engagement and retention. Even though people sometimes describe it in terms of Twitter, I actually think its something very different. Subjot is more a discussion and conversation platform and I think its more accurately described as a new kind of forum (its topical and has comments).

So as Subjot's cofounder, I still love Twitter and plan to continue to use it to broadcast my thoughts... particularly ones I'm not looking to have a conversation about.

Twitter confuses the hell out of me when people are conversing, so you may be onto something.
