DISQUS

I agree. I find those things narcissistic, and silly...FB is for connecting with "Friends" and contacts...not for being idolized...those folks can hang out at Myspace :)

I agree wholeheartedly.

It's elitist, in my opinion, to block @replies from folks you don't follow back...that means the only way a new connection can be made is if you initiate it, and who knows who you might miss if that happens? You can ignore them @tweets easily enough if they don't interest you, or block the person if they are annoying, but the point is connecting and conversing, not posting to a small group - BIG CONVERSATION.

Thanks for being the first I've seen to take this stance...

I have to overcome my natural tendency to believe meetings rarely serve a purpose. I find that all too often people have called them because it is a legitimate way of avoiding actual productivity. I realize that I push this too hard, and so I try to be positive in every meeting, and to participate constantly. I also doodle, but have to be careful because if they get too elaborate, I attract my neighbor's attention at the table and we both get busted.

Twitter, like any other form of writing or communication, is not the same for all of us. Seth's problem isn't with his millions of fans, but with those few who think they can call him out every time he writes something and try to gain notoriety by getting him worked up.

Social media of any sort when the numbers get too high is an exercise in futility. That's why so many celebrity Tweeps only follow a small number while being followed by huge numbers, I suppose.

Those who will misinterpret your 140 characters probably would have misinterpreted your three paragraphs, just at greater length...
