Mathew's comments: Social apps and the attention factor

    I feel the same...and Twitter is still acting funny! I'm not so sure it's just the weather or Passover.

    It's hard to remember that you're alone in a room in your underwear, no matter how many people you're talking to on the interwebs.

    It's the diet pepsi of social contact. Strangely unfulfilling, but better than dying of thirst.

    That's a great way of putting it, Engtech :-)

    Mathew, was it kind of like being in a noisy bar and then suddenly it seemed like a lot of people left, or at least stopped talking?

    It was definitely like that, Mark. I had the feeling that
    conversations were going on around me about a whole pile of
    interesting things (which may not have been true, of course), but I
    couldn't hear them.

    You need to get off the grid more often! It's good for you.

    I kind of like the grid :-)

    I also use Twitter a lot. I never thought I would get addicted to it but now, logging in everyday to communiate with people around the world is becoming or maybe an addiction. Maybe I need to re-think about twittering!
