Yeah but if Leo Laporte can go that long without anyone noticing, what are the chances anyone cares about us tweeting.
He has a large fan base, and I believe is well liked. I think he points out that twitter isn't building up peoples attention span but making it much shorter. The vast amount of tweet poring in just drowns out the individual posters. I can tell you right now, I wouldn't notice if a couple of people I subscribe to disappeared from twitter except maybe my wife :)
- jeremymcanally 16y agoI think you hit it on the head at the end of your post. His status as a nerd celebrity essentially ensures that many of the connections he has via these social networks will be tenuous at best. You can't classify the connection you have a to guy who's heard your podcast the same as your good friends and co-workers (or your wife! ;)). This will sound conceited, but I think most people I'm associated with via Twitter would probably care if I disappeared without a peep for more than 5 days. So I think that while most people don't really care about his tweeting, nearly every other user's connections to their followers/followees will be much tighter.
- thorax 16y agoWhy not try it? Go silent without mention and see what happens.
- ams6110 16y agoI've never heard of him, until now.
