@maria @dangillmor yeah. i think that’s right. the goal is to encourage, not merely abandon as a statement.

but what’s valuable about social media is the hanging out, the sense you are conversing directly with people who otherwise would be inaccessible. as much as possible, that conversing should happen not-on-twitter. if people want to hang out with you, it’s great to let them know they can find you here, and that you are not at ease conversing there.
