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.
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! ;-)
