		<description>So, I have to admit I&#039;ve been following your twitters and have a few conclusions:

1) It feels more alienated and voyeuristic than blogs do.  Kind of like if I got to keep up with you by watching you through a camera I put in your house.  It lacks the quippy interaction of texting or chatting, and even blogs let you post boring comments like this one :-)  

2) Twitters lack context.  It would be better if a twitter included more context than it does.  I imagine it takes you more time than it is worth to include enough to be interesting, but not so much that you are blogging through your twitter hole.

3) Twittering needs appropriate lifestyle infrastructure.  Twitters seem like something that should go into a disposable portion of my blackberry (or other mobile device) that fade after a certain amount of time if they don&#039;t happen to catch my attention.  Having them flow into my reader isn&#039;t very satifying.  I&#039;m sure the right software/hardware combos are out there to help me make twittering an important part of my life, but I haven&#039;t figured it out yet.  I looked up Quicksilver since you mentioned it in your first post, but found it was only for the Mac.

On the bright side, I&#039;m an information whore.  The more windows you give me the more I&#039;ll look through :-)  It&#039;s a poor substitute for seeing you in person though.</description>
