I had raised questions or made an observation regarding the tool only to find a reply with offers of assistance from the developers! If only I could have tapped into Bill Atkinson of HyperCard fame in a similar fashion 16 years back! Cheers, John.

I started following a couple people I found from my hometown and then like you, started following some of the people they were following based on half conversations that caught my curiosity. I’m now following a whole network of friends that I don’t personally know, but “feel” like I do. Every once in awhile they’ll tweet something that elicits me to respond. Sometimes they reply back, but they usually do not. They probably wonder who the heck I am and how I started following them. Anyway, it helps me feel connected to my hometown in a strange, but comfortable way. I’m originally from another part of the country.

I'm really not difficult to find online. But losing the ability to @dnorman suddenly meant they were paralyzed when trying to contact me. bizarre. the strange thing about dropping off of twitter was the number of people that couldn’t find any other way to contact me. suddenly, I ceased to exist for them. although my blog has a contact form. my email addresses are all public.
