Twitter is a communications router
I get the impression that Twitter is not so much the blogging itself, but the combination of communications. From a MicroContent point of view the Twitter format is just a naked blog format. It is something that I already have on one of my blogs, but only use for a very specific purpose.
What makes Twitter interesting is that one can post either through the web, a separate client, an IM client or an SMS message. And one can subscribe through various means as well. In itself not very interesting and already supported by various mobile service providers.
So why the hype? Maybe because the service can also aggregate multiple feeds? Or?
Anyway other blogging hosters might now add SMS and IM interfaces as well.
