Quote by Twitter: I Tweet, Therefore I Am
Using Twitter suggests a level of insecurity whereby, unless people recognise you, you cease to exist.

Rather than forcing people to constantly update [our] blog with full entries, why not pull from the content they’re creating anyway? So [the aggregator] pulls in content from del.icio.us, Flickr, Twitter and other people’s blogs and inserts it right into [the site]. In my mind, it’s an example of passive activity, which I define as tapping into people’s existing behavior in order to deliver, rather than asking them for the information themselves.
