Day 1 of my Twitter break began with . . . a quick glance through Twitter. Habit. (Although I did give myself the limit of not posting to Twitter – reading is still okay. I do find Twitter to be quite valuable. But is it much of a vacation if I still scan the site when I start the day? Hmm . . .)
Still, I pledge to not use Twitter until St. Patrick’s Day, just to see what that’s like. I’m certain I’ll miss things – but I am curious to see if that improves the blogging going on here. We’ll see.

I think it is appropriate that on Day #1 of your “Twitter Vacation” that I twit about your question on what a course about connective writing would look like.
No sure whether to say “good luck with your vacation” or just “enjoy the vacation”. As a novice twitter, it is interesting to hear from those who are seasoned.

Hmmm. I don’t think my blogging has diminished but I noticed yours has.
As I told you before, I really enjoy your drive home podcasts….I need more podcasts!

I’m curious about the relationship between twitter and the quality of your blog. I would think twitter would feed you ideas or give you some topics to which you could blog your reaction. Is twitter too much of a distraction?
Looking forward to your thoughts on this.

This is a good thing. Do you think you would have the strength to hold out an additional week? Could you hold out?
I think the edublogosphere should have self imposed vacations just like schools.

Judging from your output in the 2 or 3 days since, I’d say your productivity has gone WAAAAY up.
My blog has slowed down, but not because of Twitter. Blame Java, as I’ve been studying it a lot lately.
