I’ve been rejecting the notion of Twitter pretty vociferously since I first heard about it, so I can’t find any fault in you not using the service. As for not feeling comfortable examining your motivations for staying in the “background”… I have the same question about why my own habit of clicking the “tweet” button, or writing this blog for that matter.

What is the purpose of something like this blog a twitter feed? Is my ego really that big that I think anyone actually cares about what I have to say? I don’t have an answer for that question about myself other than some vague rationales that sound pretty lame even to me. Yes, I have things to say, and this is a way to send my message that is at least slightly more effective than putting it in a bottle and tossing it in the sea. But beyond that… I’m not sure what really motivates me.

All I can really say is that posting a tweet or blog entry usually makes me feel good. And if *not* doing either of these things makes you feel good, then that’s as good a reason as mine 😉
