American Idol for the Digerati or get yourself a second twitter account.

Over at Steve Rubel people are discussing who pays the twitter bill:
Twitter May Face Huge SMS Bills

I am still waiting for twitter to come out and tell the world that they where hired by the phone companies to increase text messaging, to be the American Idol for the digerati. Btw, I did stop reading twitter on the web during my cebit turn and will go back to reading it on the net.

But quite frankly, I am going to kick out people who do not contribute something useful for the time I spend with them. It may be harsh, but I do not really need to know that you just got up and then got under the shower.

If you want to do that - great! But make a high traffic twitter user for that. This is most likely the one you will be following on your phone either. Keep a second one for your low twittering - or just post it on your blog.

Seriously. With some people I want to know every bit of their live and with others I could care less but still wanna have them as friends.

About

female. european. geek.

About Nicole Simon I love working with people and help them get successful, especially through the use of social software. Though I have been on the net for over a decade and have consulted SMB for years, I also understand the corporate side, as I have worked in a major corporation for 15 years.

If you need a name for what I do, I usually call myself a European New Media Specialist with a special interest in blogging, podcasting and second life. I also love to 'testdrive' products / concepts which is best described as Technology Implementation Analyst.

You can read more about me on my Xing profile or contact me for more information.

When I do interviews (mainly pre conference podcasts I put them up here: Bloxpert so I can seperate blog / podcast talk a bit more from the stuff here.

Useful Sounds is my personal podcast, and I also have a German blog. Living in Lübeck, Germany, a European point of view comes with everything.

Why ctbk? Smooth-tongued responses are for the timid ones, and if there are no challenges, there is nothing to gain either. :)
