Yes, I have been called the grim reaper of vacation days, especially on Fire Island. Broadband is like booze, you have to know when to put the bottle down.

I didn't 'get' twitter until I was sitting in a Duran Duran concert a year and a half ago and for the first time I wanted to tell the world how cool it was.

I've observed that I have become more open myself. I still keep appropriate things private or share them only with my close friends and family but there are things that happen or things you learn that to me just scream to be shared.

hmm. Now that you mention it, that's no easy task. I'm running into the same problem trying to do that for our restaurant fanpage. I tweeted you once about it when you mentioned you were an investor at your restaurant. check it out. www.watermarcrestaurant.com

Through a series of links on Twitter via my brother -plunkman I came upon your article and lovely picture- Having just returned 2 weeks ago from a week long trip to Montauk your picture truly brought me back there and made me smile.... So thank you from one of those 30,000 some odd people you thought wouldn't care how your golf game went. I am glad it was satisfying excursion for you.

I like to be distracted as it often leads to things I would otherwise not see or read

I love seeing the pictures of your little girl from time to time on tumblr and we really barely know each other. Ambient intimacy is pretty cool

You are suggesting that the filtering is done on the send side and most people are approaching it from the receive side.

I'm not sure what approach will turn out to be best

But we all know that filtering is needed

Well thanks Rich. If I can do it, anyone can. You just have to follow certain ground rules

It's interesting that Linkedin is rarely if ever mentioned in this context (life stream). I often wonder if it's not becoming a "digital ghetto". Not allowing me to update my Linkedin status with Twitter is a huge mistake.

Its a valid concern. We all need to make sure and get the next generation places where there isn't cell coverage for a few hours of quality time. A boat is often a

I don't think I can do it in a comment. But its about being present in the medium we all are using these days

Thank you. I would be honored if you did.

I completely agree. My only point was that the process for the last two presidents we elected has favored a lack of documented extroversion. :)

I might disconnet my twitter feed from FB but only when I can figure out how to run it through my fan page

This is certainly true. I would add accessible and real.

I agree in general, but I guess my point is that regardless of your point of view of either president, it's easy to make comments that have little context in 140 characters. 100,000 tweets would be a gold mine for trying to find comments that (seem to) offend one group or another.

Going to be interesting...

It's so ironic that I was reading this WSJ article, Not So Fast:

http://online.wsj.com/artic...

when I was distracted by my Blackberry, which led me to my laptop, then got me reading all my emails, which lead me to your post, that I had to comment on, which didn't go thru the first time.

Going back to my cold cup of coffee and newspaper and leaving the electronics in the other room.
