Fist off, I love reading your blog and twitts, especially the ones on restaurants because I love to eat. :) As for myself, I'm still fairly new to Twitter (only been about 1.5 months I believe) and am still a bit uncertain as to what I should or shouldn't write on there. I don't think what I write about is interesting or of value to other followers (at least for the time being). So I've became more of a mute and only post once a day or every few days. I hope this won't give people the impression that I'm not sociable or dislike talking to them. I just haven't figured out where I fit in the world of twitter yet. Interesting post.
