Good show guys. I think I'm leaning Lisa's way – I can see both Sam's and Jim's point of view re: Twitter. 99% of my tweets are personal stuff, but I do occasionally plug The Big Book of Spam and do the silly contest thing like I did this week. I try not to go overboard with it.

I think bit.ly's got it all over twitpwr though – even for a beta, it's too buggy and if the only unique thing about it is the ability to get on “the list”… that's just too gimmicky and doesn't provide enough real value.
