[...] dark side…I’ve started experimenting with Twitter. Yes, it’s true. If you recall my rather heated post not too long ago, you may ask how this came to pass. I did poke a good deal of fun at twitterers [...]

Chris I’ve decided the only “next best thing” I’m going to pay any attention to is how I can make a living from reading blogs (as distinct from writing them) if anyone is on to this could they call my agent

Howdy, EM. Wow. Now that’s really going unplugged, but you’ve offered an example of where being constantly connected isn’t as productive as it’s made out to be. There’s unplug your television week…imagine if there was unplug your internet connection week? Would the world stop it’s rotation? Of course, I’m not sure I could do this which probably points to a nasty addiction. Oh well, guess everyone needs at least one vice in their life.

ROFL. I’d never even heard of the thing until this post… and I’ve never been so happy to be out of the loop! I took my primary work computer completely “off-line” just a few months ago. I haven’t gotten this much done since about 1995…

Oh Ben, I know. I’ve just contributed a little bit to Twitter’s ascension in the world. Or maybe not…maybe if more of us call ‘bullshit’ on some of this insanity then the world will return to it’s senses. Could you make a case for how it can be used in the association world I’m just dying for someone to argue with me on how it will better my life.

Hi Annette, glad to have found you though I’m sorry it’s at Johnnie’s expense. Luddites often get a bad rap…they’re usually the canary in the coalmine of online senselessness.

Hi Chris – thanks for your comment over at my blog – I despair, I really do…I’m happy being a luddite but really and truly the world has gone mad!

Hey there Ben, I don’t know if that’s the last nail in the coffin. Just saw that Johnnie Moore is trying it out. Egads.

I’m trying to figure out why I dislike this whole idea so much. But I still haven’t heard from anyone as to why Twitter is worth the effort. Or is this just a Gen Y thing?
