hey eric. i suppose it's true what they say, to each his own :)

twitter has been a great tool in improving my writing efficiency, it's beautiful. our attention span is getting shorter by the day so when you are given the option for a straightforward chat, sometimes it's a good idea to go with it.

thanks for the comment!

Good point Jacob - I think it's interesting b/c some people are used to being drawn out and indirect in everything they say. Twitter would be a great tool for training that out of people. I have to agree I've had the same experience with being more direct in person.

I think that in general my approach is to feel around to see what kind of value I can offer and then make my pitch - fairly inefficient. In Twitter you just say hi can you do this for me - the greatest thing to come from that is most people who are not interested or not able to help you are connected to someone who is and they can just tell you to tweet @interestedparty with the same suggestion or question.

This is great Jacob - thanks for sharing this.

I find it interesting that his words are more reassuring, it just seems candid and thoughtful - even when he says 'The recession is going to get worse' it's somehow reassuring, just because it sounds like straight talk to me.
