This is a really great post. Your description of rapid cycling is entirely familiar to me, as that is the reality in which I also live. And I think it's a good way to describe it so that others can understand, too.

I enjoyed learning about Van Gogh, as well. I had thought he mailed his ear to a girlfriend, and I didn't know about his hospitalization or the painting (which I love) being painted while there. Knowing that and looking at that painting, I can so relate to him. How weird. And very cool, too. I think I might get a print of it now - now that I know more of the story behind it and how closely it rings true for me.

Ted - Sorry about your toe, dude. It's a wonder you could handle the pressure of the marker..... Total bummer the hot sauce didn't help - kind of like a modern-day mercurichrome, eh? hahaha! (How the heck do you spell that stuff??)

Hope you feel better SOON!

VDog - I had one like that once!! Drove myself to the hosp. in the middle of the night - good think I didn't have a stick-shift, eh? Hope you feel better soon - tape that sucker up! (Oh yeah, mine definitely WAS broken!)

"When was the last time you went to a restaurant and tipped YOUR waitress from someone else's wallet?"

That is *exactly* it! Very good way to put it. I, too, have been a fan of Seth's for a while, so was disheartened when Shawn brought this post to our attention. (Haven't read the rebuttal yet.)

Weird - it sounds like someone hijacked Seth's blog. That's just crazy talk. *shakes head*

Mine hasn't come yet, Shawn. Time to panic and re-sign up? Or maybe I'm just in the 'second' round of send-outs this time...

Re: How Twitter Has Changed My Life

lisamariemary — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 18:19:27 -0000

I find the line that I don't want to cross in regards to sharing to a very slippery one. When I wonder if something I'm about to share is over that line, I have to listen to my gut. My gut always tells me what to do. I sometimes don't listen to it and forge on ahead, probably most likely when I'm hyped up and excited about something. And then I often wish I'd stopped myself. But for me, there is no one real description of that line - it is mostly decided upon on a case by case basis. Sure, there are some things I definitely *won't* talk about, but, usually it comes down to listening to my gut.

There are so many people online oversharing - 'grown adults' - telling intimate details about their lives, people that you would otherwise deem intelligent and level-headed. When I come across these 'shares', it makes me so uncomfortable.

I think it doesn't have anything at all to do with authenticity, because, there are parts of my life that are private. Take my relationship with my brother, for an example - is my relationship with him authentic? Of course it is. I love him very much and we are very close. There are certain parts of my life that should not be discussed with him, though, you know? And that's an example of a very close and strong relationship.

Let's say we're talking about my presence on the web as a businesswoman who sells personalized letters to children. My relationship with the mothers, fathers, etc. who purchase the packages. Am I authentic with them? Of course. Do I tell them about the amazing "experience" I had last night? No. But that in no way diminishes my authenticity with them.

Mostly, it's a personal thing - each person is as comfortable sharing as much as they want. And each person must decide where their 'line' is. Some people are fine with 'spilling it all'. That's totally not my bag.

It kind of all leads into another discussion - the one about 'are your online friends "real" friends'? My husband and I have very different viewpoints on this. And neither one of us wants to budge. I can tell you, for sure, (and I'm not really even that close to you, friendship-wise) that I had tears in my eyes the instant I saw your tweet and my stomach jumped up into my throat and I was worried all night and waited for every update tweet you shared with us.

I guess I should stop 'blogging on your blog'. LOL Both very interesting, interconnected topics, though! I think I'll go see what that cool professor, that is embracing this new medium and blending it into his classroom, has to say about it. I can't remember his name - will have to let you know.

We got steady rain for hours, but, it was always very light! Although it surely looks like it's gonna be a rainy day - forecast says Nope! Oh well. All the 'fury' was down near Mobile.

Hopefully I will be again!

Re: TwitterCounter

lisamariemary — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 18:17:04 -0000

Oh, I see. Gosh, I hope you're right about Twitter being fixed, and that it stays that way - I just love it! Would hate to see it totally fizzle...

Re: TwitterCounter

lisamariemary — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:33:21 -0000

Sam, is your number the same on Twitter and on Twittercounter. Mine is off by 3. Weird, huh?

Re: Comcast is Making Great Use of Twitter

lisamariemary — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:45:50 -0000

I know, right - a free Muffaletta - delish! I don't think that is the hesitation, though, I think it is just not seeing what actual benefits they could get from it.

Re: Comcast is Making Great Use of Twitter

lisamariemary — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:25:27 -0000

I'm thinking they could follow in Zappo's lead - with free Muffaletta's and such...getting multiple employees on board, gift certificates, discount announcements, etc

They could make a page that brings them all together in the same way Zappos did - now that is cool!

Oh man, that totally happened to us a few years ago - and the ground wasn't even frozen! It was maddening! I'm so glad to hear the quick way that all was handled - and how? Bum bum bum! On Twitter! Gawd, I love Twitter!

I'm hoping to use this post to further convince my brother that Jason's Deli needs a presence on Twitter - he has thus far not seen my point.
