• zephoria: I wonder if those who filter/retweet are more valued/respected/followed in the Twitter ecosystem than new content creators (celebs aside).

  05:39:57 pm on November 3, 2009 |
   

• zephoria: I find that I talk fast and flittery (rather than slow and precise) to keep myself entertained. My talks have become rather impressionistic.
