Click HERE to listen to the Podcast version This is a topic that has long been on my mind ever since I witnessed some ugly disagreements (quite public ugly disagreements) erupt on Twitter over the past months.

“Twitter is Down” Video
Oh my, the boundaries of good taste get stretched and reinvented as we speak.

Please bear in mind that I'm no fan of the guy in the video, so no ranting comments. If you're a regular Tweeter, you'll laugh your a** off. If you can't see the player click … [Read more...]
