At the same time, with so much technology available, and everyone talking on their cell phone, texting or now twittering, it makes me wonder, Does anyone simply pause and think anymore? Or just enjoy the moment? We live in such a hectic world. It seems that stress continues to increase. Why not simplify your life, and minimize all of these gadgets? Paul Eat Well.

At the same time, with so much technology available, and everyone talking on their cell phone, texting or now twittering, it makes me wonder,

Does anyone simply pause and think anymore?

Or just enjoy the moment?

We live in such a hectic world. It seems that stress continues to increase. Why not simplify your life, and minimize all of these gadgets?

It is a time suck. Though I have a twitter account and used it quite a bit for some time, I only now use it at events, conventions to keep pace. It is a time suck.

Just saying free press could pay off. As we’re seeing that Twitter is becoming a good marketing ploy, couldn’t we all go on a grassroots MFFL campaign on Twitter?

Mavs fans in Twitter -- show your support! On a serious note, Twitter gives us a way to build and grow relationships in 140 characters. Plus, it helps me remember to check out blogs of the people I enjoy reading. A friend and I made a bet on our beloved Mavs in Twitter. Mavs fans in Twitter — show your support!

Meet other like minded people without going through the tedious process of having to be in a clique already, or get somebody else to admit you into theirs. You can simply block your cyber stalkers or blog trolls, because of the sheer volume (which you can control by deciding to follow as many or as little of twitterers as you want) you can choose not to respond to somebody. And personally, for filmmakers this is a great resource for stimulating conversation, for information and meeting colleagues who you might never meet in person but are doing interesting things. Also, the public nature of the service paradoxically makes the space feel safer.... Twitter allows you to do what FB and Linkedin promise.

I am 27 and to be honest Facebook seems like a complete waste of time to me. People 30+ on myspace need to consider the possibility they may be a pedophile.... (j/k) Twitter to me allows me to quickly say "hello" to anyone in my business community network. It can be my cousin (best friend) in Iraq working as a contractor or a Microsoft performance point partner letting me know the latest little tweak (WITH LINKS!) that he has found to incorporate the business into Amazon's EC2 platform. Simply put, Twitter is a business tool. CNN has realized that mobile alerts fall (for the most part) on deaf ears. AT&T, VERIZON, SPRINT...are you listening? With 3rd party apps on a smart phone, you're able to dumb the text messaging. Twitter integrating private tweets and lists would do nothing more than increase the user experience and increased market saturation. But the question will be "can you make money on it?" For now, I absolutely love the tool and believe it to be another way to stay in touch at your availability. Mark, I couldn’t agree with you more.

I'd follow Michael from The Office tweet about his work woes Mon-Fri, or even something as far fetched as Batman fighting crime. With TV especially, you can enhance the experience between shows with something like this...almost as if they need to follow tweets in order to fully understand the story/season at hand. Personally, I worry that legit Twitters could be considered digital vanity, and think it'll actually create a larger social issue in due time...kind of like a messianic or celeb complex for the masses...but business is business, and I'm not sure anyone will cite a big-picture ethics problem at this point. And with that, back to our regularly scheduled programming.... I’d love to see a more creative, fictitious approach which essentially will serve as an ad.
