So I just got dragged onto Twitter. Come for the cynicism. Stay for the subversion.
I’m not a big twitter fan, but I gotta admit, you’re tweets or whatever they’re called, were great! It’s like a stream of consciousness of great info. Keep it up.
There is no way ‘Knowing’ will be number one.
What I love about this post is that you’ve repurposed the tweets into the big blog! If the boss hadn’t forced you to “tweet” in the first place, this would have made all that activity a business expense!
(Don’t bank on that advice though, since my imaginary day job is as a tax lawyer at AIG.)
Nikki – I clicked Follow on your Twitter feed but your tweets are not showing up in my feed. Do you have to accept your followers before we can see your tweets? thanks!
