It is a pretty terrible shame that apparently we're too busy these days to think carefully and strive for genuine insight. And, worse than that, this is held out as being unavoidable and worth embracing. So glad you like the post!

I saw the tweet to which you referred and it actually made me a little sad. Are we so go-go-GO, so mired down in churning out STUFF that we have no time to devote to actual quality? I'm bothered by that. I'm harshly self-critical, and I can't post something simply for the sake of posting something. I want what I put out there to be something of quality. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get a snack. :) I *LOVE* this, Joel. I saw the tweet to which you referred and it actually made me a little sad.

I guess I'm thinking we shouldn't just always settle for the babble when there's plenty of opportunities for something a little more challenging or interesting. Yes, babble's a thing we do and always have, but I think there's an expectation nowadays that that's enough. Good points, MrWordsWorth.

People, like me for example, trade quips about a variety of things because there is an immediacy to it - you can instantly communicate what's on your mind. If people waited, thought about it, chances are they'd be less communicative. The quality might be better, but a lot of interesting things might go unsaid. Not to suggest that much of the content we, and I include me, put up there is inherently or always interesting, but consideration often leads to self-censorship. And I don't think many of us know how to navigate balance. Regardless, there's good reason to pause and reflect on how a tweet reflects on you and your brand... Twitter is like a cocktail party.

Thanks Joel. As always walking that fine line between deeply thought provoking and general babble, but I’m thinking that was the point. Thanks Joel.
