I'm afraid I've just never seen the point of Twitter. The only time I've used Twitter is to check out some tweets of my favorite Renaissance man, jstevh. I do that strictly through the website interface.

Yup. I've seen that. Your idea meme-injections are devilishly clever! How's the plan to control the world going? You are usually quite open about such progress.

Yup; Sales of your book - 0. Result ignored. Average star rating of your posts - 1 out of 5. Result ignored. Like your "remarkable" results, you cherry-pick the ones that serve your purpose and discard/ignore the rest. If you want to be seen to have some integrity, you need to actually account for the negative results, not just erase them from your view.

Funny. I put an entire healthcare plan into 140 characters. The exercise of bringing your ideas into such a small space can be enlightening, and it's a fun intellectual challenge. But I know, a LOT of people DO NOT GET it, or understand why some people are so giddy about Twitter. For me it was a great way to use Usenet less. I can do a lot of my more fanciful stuff on Twitter now, and focus more on using Usenet only when absolutely necessary because I have no other way as good to push through brainstorming ideas and critiquing them. Though I wish I did. That's an ongoing project. I need a way to put ideas out there without pressure, and get negative feedback against them. It's that simple. For now Usenet is the place where that can be had. James Harris |
