I personally can’t stand when i’ve found certain people to follow who SOUND interesting, but then just post link after link after link to all sorts of things I don’t really care about!

Then there are the trending-topics-obsessed. Shall we call them the KaseyCasemCounters? (I admit to having participated once or twice, but some people use the entire 140 characters just to say #topic #topic #topic etc.)

I was trying to be somewhat ironic…

Not to mention the name of this blog is Tea Party…

But I’ll cool it with the inflammatory rhetoric.

(ps – I did put the Palin one *in between* Madden and Hitchcock – thought I could slip it in there without anyone noticing, guess I was wrong)…

Thanks for giving me a written warning before banning me altogether…

Not just on this post, but on all of the posts you’ve commented on. You truly help to drive the conversation, and I couldn’t be more thankful for that.

On the other hand….

Can I ask you to not to politicize things here? This is a marketing blog. While many of the people that read or comment here may have a burning desire to express and discuss their political views, there’s a right time and place for that. I hope you’ll agree with me that Marketing Tea Party isn’t the right place. Thanks.

And tell Guy Kawasaki that me too I’m watching CNN!

Just a note: I actually am forcing Ron to be on Twitter.

Whether he likes it or not.

John Madden: 75% of John Madden’s Twits are about sports, with the other 25% focused on how great this cheesesteak he’s eating is. We get it guys – you are real men. Great job on what you’re doing with your Twitter accounts. Really, we mean that.

Sarah Palin: These people use Twitter as a vehicle to defile Barack Obama, in 140 characters or less. Coincidentally, Twitter imposes the same 140 character limit that Sarah Palin demonstrated in real life when answering simple questions like “What are your foreign policy credentials?” (“I can see Russia from my house”, for example, was only 30).

Alfred Hitchcock: Criss cross! I’ll do your murder, you do mine. These people will only RT your Twits if you RT theirs first.
