OVERLOAD: Twitter Contributes to Larger Moral Dilemma

I, like many, have found myself falling short of realizing the tangible benefits - financially, socially, intellectually, emotionally, morally, and so on - of the information revolution. In part, the value I've extracted from Twitter is not sustainable although Evan and Biz have created a paradigm shift, a new market (and secondary markets). I just hope the need to make money doesn't compromise the growth of an amazing technology and related services as it has with Facebook. 

Several years ago, I was determined to convert the Web into a hyperlinked CRM system embedded with the latest and greatest Web apps and 'widgets' - I even wrote a business plan around it. Through my quest to empower the individual, I managed to isolate that person (and myself) with a destination and tools that essentially objectified and over-simplified every Earthly thing. It's time to get back to my roots...for now.
