Channels are in alpha, so its not clear what all they will do. Comments can also be longer than a status update or ("tweet"). Comments make it possible to carry on a conversation without broadcasting @ messages.
Channels are groups. The SL group helps us focus our convos. Plus, I don't have to hear one side of the phone call so to speak. I can see comments to a post here and EVERYone's response to IT. Even if they aren't my buddy. So it focuses a bit. I've seen 20+ comments on a single thread. The other nice thing is to get a quick summary of all the places you post via RSS.. so when you are my friend here you can see my music, my blog, and my game blog because i choose to share it. And it makes for better conversation and awareness because it's in one place.
More complex yes, but it seems to match the behavior that ended up just happening on Twitter. Your mileage may vary. hehe

I still don't understand why Mark Wallace is having a nervous breakdown over it.
