And, to Dixie's point, I think you have to have a picture of what you're trying to accomplish with your Twitters. I'm just getting to the point where I'm figuring that out. I think of it more like snapshots - except you control what you display. Which is not to say that someone couldn't post your nudie photos on flickr and then post a link to them on Twitter. (I've never seen this happen, but I'm thinking that it could.) It's not a movie of your whole life, though. Also I un-follow people who Twitter message after message to get around the character limit. So I think you have to use it judiciously. My $.02 (I don't have a cents sign on my computer. Sign of the times, I guess). :) Here's my Twitter address --- http://twitter.com/JeanetteWallace See ya' Jeanette Hi, Wendy and Dixie -

If every tweet is a pixel of our life will the big picture show us what image we're creating?
