I can’t find @dnorman on twitter…
maybe because search is down.

@kk – not at all. I don’t miss a single one of them. twitter is ephemeral, not archival…

so now that you’re twittering again, do you wish you wouldn’t have deleted all that stuff? seems kinda extreme!

I like the fact that I can passively multitask by using Twitter… more than I’m driven to constant Tweet or Re-Tweet.

I can certainly understand your decision – you were a TweetMachine. I’m under 1600 in a year-ish, so I don’t find it has the same effect on me, but your point is well-taken.

I’ve been meaning to throw my two cents in here… I guess I’m a little surprised at the, uh, strength of your reaction. I suppose that’s because I just never invested that much in Twitter in the first place. Do I expect it to change my professional or personal life? Heck no. If anything, I value twitter because of the casual nature of the interactions that take place there. True, most of my twitterverse is composed of ed tech folken, but I like being reminded that the writers and thinkers that I read and respect are people too.

I consider twitter a backchannel – one that I can (and do) ignore if I’ve got better things to do.

The bit about information mining got my attention though, and will make me a little cautious when twitter goes (more) commercial.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
