If You Can Read This, You're Following Too Closely

A few months ago, Macworld included this interesting take on using Twitter as a private network.

If I don't know you, I frankly don't think you should care about my opinions. (I barely care about most of them myself.)... My every attempt at wit should not have the half life of uranium 238....

In general, if I'm not comfortable giving you my telephone number, I probably won't let you follow me on Twitter -- even if I know you and I like you.

(Why did it take me so long to post this? Macworld doesn't post its content to the web until each issue has aged as long as medium cheddar.)
