After being mercilessly pressurized by many people (and I blame Jason Massie the most), I've joined Twitter and I'll be commenting lots on it. Why did I finally cave? Well, I've been seeing lots of little things in forums and newsgroups that don't merit a full blog post but are worth letting people know about. So – feel free to follow along. My username is 'PaulRandal' – original, huh? I'm sure I'll get just as sucked into Twitter as I have to FaceBook – luckily I can type fast :-)
Enjoy!
PS You might not find me in Twitter search until I've posted a few times – try http://search.twitter.com/

Now you can visualize being sucked into the internet.
You may want to think about how much time you invest into Twitter.

Apparently 60% of new users stop using it after 1 month.
No worries there – I live online already.
People are loosing their ability to focus and listen. Their thoughts and minds are becoming fragmented and now you are contributing to societies downfall.
Learn to meditate instead:

P.S. I love chapter 11 in the new book, but then again I have the attention span longer than 140 characters! ;-)
