Yeah it was a dead loss to me. Even my 13 year old daughter is having second thoughts. (She is also turning in her iPhone for a Blackberry, which may or may not be a data point of interest to the smartphone manufacturers).
Twitter on the other hand has made me new friends in faraway places. Last time I was in Singapore I announced my arrival and a guy volunteered to give me the 2 hour tour. I've gone to cigar clubs in Riyadh and had a multip-person meetup in a Starbucks in a shopping mall in Dubai.
It's those human connections that make Twitter great for me.
If you're ever in Pasadena, CA -- @philiphodgen :-)
EDIT: I will be in San Francisco chairing the California Society of CPA's International Tax and Business Conference on December 7, 2010. I'll be flying up on Sunday, December 5. If you're interested in getting together for (geez I can't believe I'm saying this) free tax brainstorming shoot me an email at philiphodgen@gmail.com.
