I’d be lying if I said that reaching an audience and seeing my post generate (mostly) positive, thoughtful discussion didn’t feel good.

But that feeling (for me, at least) is closer to gratitude and hopefulness than it is to ego gratification.

The claps and notifications of retweets are, however, quite addicting, in the truest sense of the word.

I find myself checking twitter more than is reasonable to see where it’s going.

And while there is some upside there (connecting with and engaging in conversation with like-minded peeps), the frequency of my checking is highly disproportionate to that Value.

Ugh.
