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!

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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