I’ve found that I don’t need to check Twitter as often, or spend as long
processing it. It’s not an always-connected, always-communicating tool
that some people think it is — you can choose when and what to process,
and only do it 1-2 times a day if you like, scanning your messages and
not necessarily replying unless you feel the need to do so. It will be
another inbox, but not as tyrannical as email.
This sounds remarkably like email to me. I don't understand the difference. I was expecting an article about ditching email-type communication entirely, which I wouldn't dream of doing but would be an interesting experiment.
- mfonda 16y agoAs for ditching email-like communications entirely, it worked well for Donald Knuth: http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/email.html http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/email.html Perhaps one day I will try it out!

Then I wouldn't have email or anything. Just a wonderful assistant who managed it all and let me be free to focus on other things. I need me a Pepper Potts to my Tony Stark dammit!
- SkyMarshal 16y agoAgreed. It sounds like he's throwing out the baby with the bathwater, and then badly re-inventing it with a hodgepodge of other services.
