I don’t understand why these new services need to reinvent common vocabulary for their services (ie: notes (which is a completely different thing on Twitter), channels, antennas, pages etc)
I don’t know about the rest of the terms, but note is actually the standard term for a microblog post. It was used by services before and contemporaneous to twitter and is the ActivityStream term for these posts.

I wasn’t claiming note was the first term used to refer to them only that it’s been used to refer to them for a long time

It is cultural. Japanese SSN use the term note and re-note
