Customer Reviews
To twitter or not to twitter...
I am not a social net type, the immediate, or not so immediate responses to posts have never attracted me. Your dissertation on twitter has stirred my curiosity. It seems that I have been missing out of some interesting dialogue. You have challenged me to check it out. Good job!
