Falling and trying to hold onto the rope…
“…think about Twitter as a rope of information — at the outset you assume you can hold on to the rope…”
–Dave Winer—
….That you can read all the posts, handle all the replies and use Twitter as a communications tool, similar to IM — then at some point, as the number of people you follow and follow you rises — your hands begin to burn. You realize you cant hold the rope you need to just let go and observe the rope”….
