Hi Gordon!

Thanks for sharing your TWEETS on Twitter!

(Now I'm going to have to join too... Lest I lose my Twitter street-cred. What will my friends think? )

It's taken me a while to figure out what Twitter is all about. I guess it's a kind of short update on what's going on with you...

By the way, there's a generational "sea change" going on with a lot of this online stuff.

I had a conversation about this with a friend last year. I'm in my late 30s, and my friend (Ben) is in his late 20s.

Ben mentioned to me how the people just younger than him, were like a "Look at me!" generation...

They can share all kinds of aspects about their lives online. On places like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, on their own blogs, and so on... And they're used to doing so!

Whereas earlier generations are concerned more with privacy, the younger folks seem to have less concern about it, and are willing to share everything with their friends...

Some of these are more private than others (Facebook has some privacy settings you can tweak, for example). But it's an interesting change in "mind-set"...

Thanks Gordon, I'll be looking forward to your TWEETS!

Meanwhile, the SeedZine should be ready to go soon... Make sure you get it when it's out, go to http://www.seedzine.com !

Best wishes
