Well done Jim, you've made Hacker News. Now go eat a Twitterburger. ;)

Knowing that you've reduced you media restrictions somewhat, I'm curious if you're now of the believe that, with all things, a balance is appropriate and too much of anything is bad.

I still struggle with managing the overflow of data that is Twitter, at least to a point where it's not a huge distraction. I wish I could, but I can't.

I think the question of balance is difficult if you really believe in addiction. For people that aren't addicted, moderation / balance is a great strategy. If behavior crosses into addiction the moderation strategy is much less realistic. That's the crux question for me.

That's an interesting point. I wonder how many people of are regular "socialites" are truly addicted, versus just think that's what you're supposed to do these days. Much like HSN, gambling, etc...I bet the percentage of the former is pretty high.
