All at the same time. Pretty much my standard reaction to life in general. Tweet on! I find the idea of all of these tweets being saved somewhere fascinating, thrilling, and frightening.

People in the 19th century didn't think their posters, postcards and love letters were worth much, but now people find them fascinating and worthy of study. It's probably not up to us to decide the value of these things- that is for the future. Glad to know my tweet about my cat chasing a fly will be preserved for the ages. :p

Now when my great-grand child becomes famous, he/she will be appreciated for how far they've risen. ;) Now if my early attempts at a podcast are saved, it will be a tragedy (at least for anyone in the future who might fire it up in their mp3 player) ;) *hehe* Seriously, I'm not changing a thing. I fully expect my humble tweets to be lost in the vast mountain of tweets; only being read by some poor AI program that will be tasked to find any interesting tweets that may have been posted. I don't post anything that would cause any problems, and I don't plan on ever doing so. Clean living does have its rewards. ;) Thanks so much for Bird House rules and your books on Twitter, Tee. You definitely rock! :) The mediocrity of my tweets (@Mainframe) will now be saved for future generations.
