Yeah stay away from Twitter Jim. Its bunch of junks and rants (including mine) follow up with more rants uh, tweets.

By the way I check out your fiber invention link below.  The address on file is still back at the prison, you probably want to change that just as an fyi.

Twitter for me?  My impression is that this is more for issues where seconds, minutes, or hours count.  I don't know who I'd want to follow so closely as to monitor Twitter.
As for me saying something?  Well, I don't know if I have that much to say.  It's not like I don't have opinions...I have many of them.  But, right now the world is awash in opinions, from blogs to twitter.  What would I talk about...uh...other than the obvious?   What, in general, would people want ME to talk about?
Further, right now my main interest is in promoting and developing my isotope-modified fiber optic invention.    http://www.freepatentsonline.com/WO2013101261A1.html

I've no idea if there're any physical cpunks meetings. Living in Europe and visiting some hacker conferences and hackerspaces from time to time.
Guess - it would be you Golden State guys to do some.
On the other side - Jim, how about open a twitter account and be part
of the social media thingy too? :)
