I agree that you have had a wise decision and I may end up with something similar as I’ve been suffering from some guys, too.

But I just want to note that you wouldn’t expect Twitter to act as a technical stream of information because IMHO Twitter is something more personal than technical and it’s been used as a way to give out personal status than technical information and I’ve used that in this way.

Btw, as you don’t follow me on Twitter, I hope that I’m not that guy :-)
