Couldn’t have tweeted it better myself
… and thanks to the ever insightful Rob Miles, I don’t have to:
“Perhaps I’m reading too much into the whole thing, but at the moment I kind of regard Twitter as the digital equivalent of standing on top of a bus and shouting things out. And we know what we think of people who do that kind of thing.”
He also reflects on something I’ve never been able to confess to the twitterazzi – how the heck do you find time to listen to, filter, digest and then (natch) retweet the noise of 100’s of people all shouting at the same time? I must have that multi-tasking gene missing or something. Yet many of my work colleagues do it, and give the impression that this is something that can be done while pinning down a day-job, or in ones sleep. Hints please…
Right – must twitter that I’ve blogged about twitter.

ps – OK, so perhaps I’m not quite such a luddite with this – I certainly see a value for near-synchronous commentary on live events, and building ad-hoc communities with a short life-span. But I honestly don’t think I’ll ever have (or make) the time to filter out the drivel…
