This evening I came across a Google Buzzler that caught my attention and was considering to follow. Then I read her About page only to find this…

“Please don’t feed TWITTER NOISE to your Buzz!”

This presents a problem you see. Twitter is hooked up to my Buzz. I could follow her, but unless I remove Twitter from making updates to Buzz, it is not likely we will become useful to one another.

The flip side to this is that I practically agree. Twitter does not need to be hooked up to Buzz. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. By the same token, I don’t think you want to have such a black and white position about it.

See, I agree with @lindalawrey in that by having Twitter automatically re-post to Buzz you run the risk of losing followers. But if Twitter is hooked up to Buzz, or if any of your sites for that matter, like your blog, say, are “hooked up”, then when you post to these places you must now consider the impact it could have with your Buzz followers.

Now let’s rewind for a moment. Think back to a time, say 100 years ago. Or maybe less than that. Think back to 50 years ago. Or wait maybe even less like 10 years ago. Could you 10 years ago make any sense out of what we are talking about here. Google? Buzz? Twitter? “Hooked up”. What is all this? How is this contributing to society? How is this contributing to mankind?

Anyway. This is getting way to serious. I’m really just bummed that someone won’t follow me because Twitter is hooked up to my Buzz. Darn you Linda Lawrey.
