I’d much rather get to know people through thoughtful comments on current events, other people’s blogs, business strategies. Even more global conversations about weather, kids, spouses, dogs are more preferable to me than “just had a rare hamburger and sweet potato fries&# posts.

To me, the pace, context and conversation is very different on Twitter than on Facebook. This is totally annoying, except when used with a small number of friends who all know each other well and who actually want to have a conversation this way.

Scanning…now that is my pet peeve but sometimes there are distractions, so I guess in that case, you would just have to say sorry and express genuine interest to re-establish the conversation. Matt – I LOVE your comment! For starters, this is just plain rude.

What is most interesting – and concerning – are many of the posted comments. While I might be welcome to join in a conversation about the impact (or lack thereof) of MTV’s TRL going off the air or the latest iPhone app, I might not be the first person you’d think to approach, and this is perfectly alright.
