Part of the problem with us library folk evaluating things like blogs, IMing, Twitter, and what have you, is that this is future stuff that we're deep in the midst of. I don't know that there will really be good analyses of these until we've all moved onto the next thing. So, maybe I should shut up on trying to figure Twitter out and just do it (or not).

A sentence in her latest post EASTER THOUGHTS re: Twitter struck me as dead on: "I do think too often we claim to be pursuing "connectedness" when we're really allowing ourselves to lapse into the weak adrenaline buzz of continual partial attention." She do tell it true, don't she? Josh, I know how much you respect KGS.
