We use them for debt collection. That would be a bit hard to do via Twitter though....:) Anyway, people do respond muuuuch better to our telegrams than to our regular debt letters, so a telegram is still something special apparantly. We use the telegram service of www.telegramsonline.co.uk, but there are many others as well. My company does still send telegrams these days. We use them for debt collection.

Interesting parallels drawn here.. I thinkk the common factor are the messages, but the stages in messaging evoultion had very different effects: the clacks-telegraph - or the visual telegraph freed the message from transport of paper. it could be sent through sight of eye.. The electrical telegraph freed the message from its arrivaltime, and cut the cost 30-fold ( wikipedia/telegraphy). Messaging became mainstream. The telephone freed the message from the written word alltogether. Email freed the message of any variable costs. Twitter maybe freed the message from its wrapping - its just a stream of short more or less meaningful messages, with little wrappings. Telegrams may still have a meaning today - in that the operator of the telegramservice can offer verification of the sender. This is something only expert email-users can handle today. This, along with simplicity of use, and the nostalgia is why telegraf.no offers norwegian customers to send telegrams from the internet, verified by SMS and mobilephone. Kind regards a modern telegraphist.. ; ) Hi!

Due to its brevity, it is easy to make the analogy between the telegram and Twitter. However, I feel that Twitter is all about the 1. conversation and 2. relationships Thus, I think the analogy is closer to the postal letter of the 19th century, but updated for ease of use.

Brevity causes clarity. The key difference is barrier to entry, it's easy to send 100 tweets not so much with telegrams. That said the style of communication is important.
