He obviously gets the publicity thing though because now I will never forget the name... <br/><br/>Anyways, on a lighter note...I wonder if he will share the stash with all the followers...after all those are the people who make up this "golden asset"...

Nerds and socially inept people will find this interesting but to me its just like people who watch too much news, boring........ THis to me is just another example of people who have no life.

Maybe my favorite thing about it is how when I’m in a city in which I don’t live and tweet that, I get responses from people who want to meet up.

As myself and others have written before , Twitter is defined in the eye of the beholder – it can be different things to different people. But yes, interesting conversation.
