I share your view on Twitter's largely supportive community. It seems like people will do the right thing when it's easy enough, and what could be easier than 140 characters?
Also, I've been holding off on the Kindle because I tend to just load up my iPhone with good articles in my Instapaper account, but I've heard too many smart people (yourself included) rave about the Kindle to hold off much longer. I think it'll be my 30th b-day present to myself in March. And a good opportunity to get one of the Bobarra cases you mentioned.

Andy, I stumbled on your tweets through the folks I follow. I started following you directly a while back and am quite happy about it. You are able to mix business and industry content with a sense of humor that makes twitter work. I find that I tend to follow those that tweet about 'my content interests', but include enough of their personality to keep it interesting. Now I find myself checking your blog directly. Thanks for your contributions.

So is it that the web 2.0 technologies are bringing out the universal brotherhood in man?
Or, was it the urge to create a universal brotherhood that laid the foundation for web 2.0 style social computing?

What I thought was interesting was that Twitter played such a role during the attacks in Mumbai.
While all the data was not accurate it at least supplied some visibility into what was going on.

I think Twitter is on many people's favorite list of 2008. I have been been following your tweets for some time now I want to let you know I enjoy them thoroughly. Happy New Year!

ah, Kindle...i just dont get it... seems like it would be easier to just put your book-on-tape onto your ipod - then theres really one less thing to carry AND one less electronic device to purchase... I wonder if it will still be around in five years.

I've heard about the Amazon Kindle. Guess it should be amazing. I simply don't like reading books on the computer screen. Doesn't give the reading-a-book-effect. Not seen an e paper; but guess it shouldn't be hard on your eyes like the LCD display.

I've been contemplating purchasing a Kindle for the same reasons you enjoy yours. I also like the idea of reducing the amount of paper used for my reading. I believe it's time that I give it a try. I'll definitely pickup a cover from Bobarra. They look great.

Any post that manages to bring together twitter, the Beatles, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin is a great one, I think.
I think you were wrong about one thing though: by asking people on twitter for their opinion, you may GET lots of answers, but what you GIVE is attention and acknowledgement. In these days of "staccato signals of constant information" , that means alot. The Beatles weren't right about everything (see "Magical Mystery Tour"), but they were right about this.

My wife likes her Kindle cover by Bobarra. They aren't bulky and it protects and holds the Kindle expertly; a smart design. Wishing we would have waited for the new Kindle 2 though...
