My comment WAS the thought. It was my thought I had myself that I shared with you and you agreed with: twitter is great as a learning tool if one chooses to use it as such. My thought spawned your post would be more correct, I think.<BR/><BR/>-Why are you trying to monetize experts when the NYTimes twitters it's links to it's articles for free? That is just one example. I am sure there are more. <BR/><BR/>-And, for those who feel like they don't have the time to use twitter, here's the way I use it. (This is my thought, not a spawn by the way) It's in my phone in the browser. When I have nothing to do or am bored I check my twitter feed on that phone. When I do, I get links to articles and new bits of interest to me. It's a benefit you can give yourself when you need something to occupy your time. I do not check it on my computer.The Daily City®https://www.blogger.com/profile/11839089206179529879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106820546854003223.post-33095887654572970482008-03-31T15:17:00.000-04:002008-03-31T15:17:00.000-04:00i'm with dun. being a time-starved dad of three i...i'm with dun. being a time-starved dad of three i can't see much time left for twittering. <BR/><BR/>i already feel guilty about how much time i spend on ad blogs.

Like many other forms of "social" media, it ...Yeap. Like many other forms of "social" media, it is interesting to a certain group that likes spending time behind the screen and typing instead of going out with a friend and talk about that "wow new shoes" or "amazing game".<BR/><BR/>I remember times when Corel or even Microsoft (with Publisher) were selling some "do it your own" products. The way you can now "make your own website/blog/...". It is interesting indeed how easy it became. Yet I can name you 98% of the people that I know and will never do any of these (make a flyer with Corel or blog with blogger). And I can name 2% that will do at least 30 versions of their blog.<BR/><BR/>Not because those 98% wouldn't like it or be uncapable of learning it. Simply because they feel much much much better when:<BR/><BR/> - spending time on a coffee with a friend<BR/> - spending time on a couch watching TV<BR/> - spending time in a bowling arena<BR/> - spending time travelling<BR/> - spending time having s _ _ (you know, some even do that instead of spending time typing :-))<BR/><BR/>It simply gives more pleasure to them.DusanVrbanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581516144329317913noreply@blogger.com
