An IM service that's always on? Heh, yeah, kinda like a message board :D. The big difference is just how trite most comments on it are.
Message boards are exclusive communities, generally with a focus on a certain type of discussion [sports, videogames, cars, ect.]. Twitter is a wide open forum where everyone can go and form their own little communities with friends, families, and anyone else they might want.
Twitter isn't really a forum for in-depth discussion of course, but it lets you leave little bits of information whenever something comes to you.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
