A few weeks ago, I got a lot of responses to the following tweet: As I write this post, Twitter’s ever-unreliable updates counter is showing that I have 9,999 tweets. It’s time for a Twitter Timeout. Why? I’ve found myself thinking too quickly, without depth, mostly in the form of 140 characters. I want to get back to my place, my blog. I’m tired of playing in other people’s backyards, as it were.
