    Twitter is most valuable for me as an indicator of procrastination.

        @paulg @kurtybot is the irony of this tweet intentional or unintended?

        @paulg it's an interesting question if Steve Jobs (or insert tech hero) were alive and much younger, would he be tweeting a lot, a little?
