While Seth Godin does indeed use Twitter: http://twitter.com/sethgodin - (though mostly as a one-way conversation since he doesn't follow anyone) - the joke was a reference to the numerous times people who likely don't know him make reference to his blog posts or other writings while referring to him as "Seth" as if her were their close friend.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps.<BR/><BR/>And Niels, while I agree the list is pretty basic, I still see every single one of these "rules" violated, pretty much daily.<BR/><BR/>PS: How did you all happen to land here- I've noticed an upsurge of traffic, mostly from Europe today, but can't seem to track the referring page, so I'm wondering where the link is from.

Let's face it there are no popular Miss Manners for geeks are there?<BR/><BR/>I think one reason people sign in and sign off (the good morning, good night, they are closing the plane doors tweets) are so others are not offended when they drop in or out of ongoing conversations.<BR/><BR/>So #13 might be "Everyone drops in and out; no need to announce your coming and going, others can always follow the feed if necessary. It's archived."<BR/><BR/>PS Twitter was happening at ad:tech, but not like it was at sxsw - your gut instinct was right on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106820546854003223.post-47384339464450652602008-04-17T11:28:00.000-04:002008-04-17T11:28:00.000-04:00Toad - not only did your post bring a laugh or two...Toad - not only did your post bring a laugh or two bu there are truths to what you said.
