I love your use of pre-selecting quotatious words and offering the "tweet this" link. That's a clever idea and I'm surprised it's not more widely used.


Stole the idea from Hiten! The man's got the gift.


Agree.. one hundred per cent! The 'tweet link'? makes life so-o-o much easier: keep on poaching the good stuff to pass on Tristan. Now if one could only comment WITHOUT having to create an account!! ...Sue


I really enjoyed this but as a writer, my favorite part was in the first P.S.: "...but that’s the great thing about words. The reader is an equal author of the meaning."


Nice. I agree that Nivi/Naval probably did not mean that Tweet to be interpreted as such, but your PS nails it.


Yeah, I'm sure they didn't. I think the thing that got me riled up was that so many people retweeted and liked it without thinking about what it actually meant.


There are a lot of mindless retweeters out there...adds so much noise.


Great post and loved the plays on words.


Voted up! Thanks for the "reminder"!


Smart stuff!
