I am still not certain what I think. Letting folks know what I am doing on a regular basis does not come naturally. BTW &#8211; I am in MSP, babysitting, and watching the Twins game. Twins are down to NYY.<\/p>\n<p>I have also decided that I develop a different opinion when following individuals by Twitter and by blog. Over the years, I have focused on certain bloggers and have a high opinion of those I read on a regular basis. My reaction to their Twitter posts (if that is what the brief comments are called) has been very different. I get the impression they are trying too hard. I think big name bloggers are not the appropriate test cases for evaluating this tool. These folks don&#8217;t really interact and reading their short comments is not that interesting.<\/p>\n<p>I will have to give it a little more time. Perhaps with a few more followers I will form a different opinion. I am guessing &#8220;regular folk&#8221; may use Twitter in a different way. I am guessing I will also have to do a better job of contributing to benefit much in return. BTW &#8211; I am &#8220;grabe&#8221; on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>I am experimenting with a new plugin (tagaroo) from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opencalais.com\/\">Calais<\/a>. The service is supposed to suggest useful tags. So far I am not impressed. The suggestion was &#8220;twins&#8221;.
