about Twitter. >>

Dear Aldon,

Thanks for your reflections on Twitter!

I'm currently grappling with an etiquettical problem. For the time
being, I'm restricting access to my Twitter messages to colleagues and
friends.

I've now received a Twitter invitation from someone who only gives a
first name (no web site, no email address, no one-line biography). I
have no idea who it is, and I can't even send this person a polite
"who are you?" I can only accept or decline the invitation.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks from Deborah

Deb, et al.

Well, today, I found, via Twitter, TwitterBox, which allows you post to Twitter from Second Life, so there are two emerging technologies to play with. ( http://ordinalmalaprop.com/twitter/ )

As to the ettiquettical problem, I generally leave all my posts wide open, so I don't worry too much about that. However, I have had people ask me to add them as friends. If I don't know them, I check to see who their friends are. As an example, I got a friends request from a person that is friends with Beth Kanter. That is a good enough recommendation for me. Beyond that, if they don't give enough information, then it probably isn't a big deal not to add them.

As always, MHO, YMMV.

Aldon
