I have put together five guidlines how to become more efficient. One is: “communication reduction”. this is rooted in the insight that probably 80% of communication will be worthless the other day, so adding a lag to processing information might save quite some time. for me twittering just sounds like getting a lot of garbage-information without a specific target audience.

Tom, that’s an excellent question I asked myself very often before I started twittering. For me as a writer it’s a way to express myself and to add content for my blog. For me as a reader it’s a way to stay in tough with people all over the world on a much personal scale. And yes, oftentimes it’s just SMS gone mad. That’s why I turned off SMS-notifications.

to me, the question appears : what for? basically I already know that people are drinking, sitting in the sun, working or taking a shit on the toilet — what’s the value add of such information?

already in blogs you get nonsense, unfiltered information & I don’t think twitter is really a cool idea, it’s just SMS gone mad …
