It's just a means of communication - if you want to hear what he's up to there's email, blog, phone, etc. It's not like he's moving to Antarctica or anything.</p>webomaticaThu, 10 Apr 2008 22:53:45 -0000http://www.shootingatbubbles.com/2008/04/10/its-a-damn-twitter-account-not-the-end-of-the-world/#comment-321975<p>Yep,it's a tool - and there are a myriad of ways to use these tools, many of them untapped. There's too much of a focus ont he Internet on using a tool because it's the "next big thing," and not because it's actually useful.</p><p>Well said.</p>Jay Andrew AllenThu, 10 Apr 2008 16:37:48 -0000http://www.shootingatbubbles.com/2008/04/10/its-a-damn-twitter-account-not-the-end-of-the-world/#comment-321973<p>Obviously, if someone needs to remove their account from Twitter based on the fact that they are spending too much time on it, then I think there is more of a problem with the person than with Twitter itself.

Sounds like Hugh was having a tough time moderating himself.</p>Jeffro2pt0Thu, 10 Apr 2008 16:37:38 -0000
