Twitter is not email

Yo, tweeps. If you need to meet someone for dinner, discuss a private family matter, or get an opinion on your latest hair colour, please do not tweet this!
Twitter is not email. Twitter is meant to disseminate thoughts, ideas, and information...not book a date with your pals.
Why does this bother me? Well, mostly because I am not invited; neither can I share in the private joke. But also, it clogs up my Tweetdeck with back-and-forth arrangements that don’t have any relevance for those of us not involved.
Twitter is a great way to learn new things, generate ideas, discuss theories and generally engage in 140 character conversations. And, it can be a great place to promote an upcoming event to which everyone can attend.
For one-to-one conversations, however, email your friend, or better yet pick up that old-fashioned device and dial a number! My Tweetdeck thanks you!
