Twitter apart, your last paragraph rings so true that tho knowing it all along, reading it in black and white asserts the point.

Thanks!

People will walk out of your life. Deal with it and move on. So true its funny but online is the same as offline in so many ways.

I so enjoyed this post, the natural and human forces behind technology are still what interest me most, and I appreciated getting life lessons vicariously!

BTW, about the Finnish thing: Essa Pekka Salonen relates a story of first coming to LA, going to his hotel and taking a hot tub at the gym. He was expecting the usual Finnish reserve in the tub; when a woman came in, leaned toward him, and started asking him questions, he realized he was in an alien culture. Not bad: just different. (He seems to have adapted well.)

Thanks for the link to Qwitter! I know this wasn’t the main point of the article but I am thankful nonetheless. I signed up for it because I have noticed a lot of spammy twitters’ who follow you only to get followed, and then unfollow you shortly thereafter. I used to try to comb through my list of people that I followed to find those who did this–so this tool will be very helpful!

Beautifully written, Surya S.! People who don’t “get” Twitter are looking at the superficial and overlooking the fact that it serves a wide variety of people in different (often surprisingly creative but universally human) ways. May this post reach some of Twitter’s detractors and help them see some of its appeal.

Ah, twitter as internet dojo. Twitter’s velocity and abundance encourages a deft, light touch.
Like yours.
Thanks, Surya.

Wonderful posts. My favorite posts about Twitter are those that draw apt parallels to real life. Even at a couple of years old, Twitter is still so new. There isn’t a right way to do it or right feelings to have. Like life, we all approach it differently. Seems like you approach it with even measure and sound reason.
