There is a debate going on concerning the use of Twitter and services like it. Specifically, whether the time invested in using the third party services is worth it in the end. Receiving real-time news and real-time conversations. Keep in mind the people discussing this are business owners. The question to me is:

One of the common questions asked around the internet is whether now is a good time to start a blog and if so, how do you build and expand it? Wayne Sutton wrote about the topic yesterday referencing a conversation we had at the beginning of the year. How do blogs and social media sites [...]
The other day in World of Warcraft an Alliance player thought he’d be cute and PvP me. He was a lower level and he wouldn’t have won. Instead he hedged the odds in his favor so he couldn’t lose. He waited until I was in a fight, fighting multiple mobs, then used a spell to [...]

I cannot remember who told me this but I was told (in school) for every positive (pro) there is a negative (con). The pro of the internet being cheap is that everyone (just about) can get on the internet. A con is that people think they have business skills they don’t have and start projects [...]
One of the advantages of moving my all of my feeds (yes, that includes Twitter) into my RSS reader (meaning, one spot I completely control and manage), I notice a startling trend. I’m receiving mass amounts of duplicate information. I don’t mean the same topic discussed over multiple sites.
