Practise What You Tweet
I read this article yesterday about Evan Williams, co-founder of Twitter, and how he rarely tweets, sure enough he only has 128 tweets! which was a little surprising, especially as he’s now head of product development… but as he says he uses Twitter for consumption not broadcasting… although he follows just 1,284 users, while he has…

You Lucky Bastard!
Next time you think someone’s lucky, remember there’s no such thing as luck, it doesn’t exist.
