Given how heavily Adams struggled with procrastination, I wonder how he'd have fared in today's distractopia... he might not've gotten around to writing much. But what I wouldn't give to have him still around even just for the occasional quip.

I have a mental image of people setting great store in which platform Douglas Adams has moved to lately, given his tendency to hop between media and delight in the new and interesting.

I can certainly see him both being delighted by Twitter and also becoming incredibly bored with Twitter, over not too long a time period...
