I was taken aback to see that Maureen Dowd borrowed the blog post title that had been stewing around my noggin for a while.
I have yet to sign up for a Twitter account and am (gasp!) even contemplating doing so…but I’m hesitating. Do I really need membership to yet another online “social” network of sorts? It’s difficult enough keeping up with the blog, fbook, flickr, yelp, kaboodle, polyvore…and do people really need to know what I’m doing at any given moment?
(But am I happily surprised that the Bay Area NBC affiliate sports page has “published” my photo! Sweet!)
Anyhow, I digress…If you’ve seen Wall-E, you can understand my hesitation. Lack of human contact and being tied to a device/gadget (though my new one, does come in handy!). Besides, my husband argues that I won’t sign up for Twitter as it’s not mainstream enough.
I dunno, what do you think? Should I tweet? Or should I stay tweet free?

WALL-E doesn’t necessarily warn us about technology, it warns us about a lack of moderation. Tweet if you won’t, don’t if you don’t, but whatever you do, do it in moderation.
