spam, spam, spam

Oh, lovely. Someone I've never heard of wants to follow me on Twitter, why don't I pop over to the Twitter site and find out all about this wonderful new communication method? Until now I would have thought Twitter was already popular enough not to have to resort to this sort of spamming, but right now I'm 50/50 on whether Person I've Never Heard Of even exists outside the "manage your promotion!" software.

If you're real and reading this, I apologise, but the email I got looks remarkably like the spam I've had from other sites which are on a recruiting drive and not terribly fussy about how they pad their membership rolls for the benefit of the people buying ad spots.

Not Me!

However, if you were on twitter, I'd follow you. But I know you're a luddite (in a good way).

hehehee

I'm a Luddite when it comes to people porting the damn thing into LJ. :-) But my reason for not twittering myself is that I have learnt by heart the mantra of "post in haste, repent at leisure", and it really, really wouldn't be a good idea for me personally to use a net tool which actively encourages stream-of-consciousness posting.
