I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

I have never accessed twitter. Sounds like I’m not missing much. BTW, I just ate Tony the Tiger cereal for breakfast.

Yes, I completely agree lol. You need to let the industry settle down and people will soon find that it is the quality of their connection more than the quantity.

Stop by and say hi.

You can use Twitter for pretty much anything you want. I agree that a lot of it is inane, and you didn’t even hit upon my pet peeve — those who use it as a spamming tool.

But here’s the thing. You can follow whomever you like. You can unfollow whomever you like. You never have to allow anything that bores or offends you into your Twitterstream.

I agree with Edge. However, I have to say that Twitter has nothing to do with privacy, but about connecting with others. Yes, there is a lot, and I mean tons, of crap tweeted (I found one user who had nothing to express but pornographic language). It’s not about privacy, but choice, and millions of people choose to be on Twitter and tweet whatever they want.

That’s one way of looking at it.
But the notion of “privacy” is changing.

Instead of bewailing the fact that things have changed, notice that many many people want a kind of public space where they can test the bounds of what’s appropriate.

And many many people are interested.

It’s pandora’s box baby — there’s no getting the genie back inside.
