By definition this is what I enjoy the most and my primary reason for using this service to become familiar with like minded individuals who have similar interests and talents who share them with others. This isn't to say that we'll all agree on everything said on Twitter as the gospel, but I'd personally like to have some say in who says it. If we want ads we know where to find them... Thanks I think I'll pass on Magpie! This was just mentioned via Twitter and so I asked for the definition from Cal at Mayhemstudios who was kind enough to send me a link.

I even hesitate to sign up for anyones blog these days as it seems to be an open license to fill my mailbox with trashy offers I did not request. Of course things may change if TWITTER suddenly becomes nothing but ads. But at this point I haven't seen that.
