There’s a curious way in which the micro dimensions of Twitter put a premium on what the twitterer (tweeter?) selects to highlight. Obviously no adequate summary is possible - but a lot gets said (mostly tacitly) in the act of plucking a small sliver out of a firehose of information.
The one problem I ran into (which was a learning experience unto itself) is a challenge with RIA. The interface was refreshing as if it were accepting posts, but not doing page refreshes (something I thought it might be doing to ‘conserve’ bandwidth, having detected low ‘power’), when instead I tweeted for 40 minutes, and had lost it all.
The absolute beauty of having Jerry do these ‘interviews’ is that he knows so much about the subjects that he contributes more to the conversations than we do — and/or just makes us look good by clarifying and/or correcting things.
You really are our Barbara Walters, and we love you for it.
