Ten Things I’d Rather Not Know About You Via Twitter

June 3, 2009

1. You’re hungry.

2. You’re sleepy.

3. You have figured out what you’re having for dinner.

4. You haven’t figured out what you’re having for dinner.

5. You’ve read an article that every third person online has already read/blogged about/tweeted.

6. Your email/ISP/Web site/smartphone is giving you trouble.

7. It is raining where you are.

8. It has stopped raining where you are.

9. You’re getting a lot done!

10. You really could be getting more done.

If you can point me toward a conversation, an article, a book or an idea I’m not likely to see otherwise, though, I will follow you to the ends of the Internet. A good old-fashioned laugh is always welcome, too.

    Jennifer, you’re right. This is what Facebook is for.

    Thanks, David. I could add another 10 to this list, including “Thanks for the RT!” and almost any tweet about meeting people for cocktails at book-related events.
