Bitter Twitter

Steve Rubel is a VP with mega-agency Edelman PR. Steve has also found Twitter and been posting his goings-on. Which last Friday included throwing his unread copy of PC Magazine into the trash. Not a good thing for an exec at a tech PR agency to be posting. Jim Louderback, the editor-in-chief for PC Mag took note and called him on it. Which led to this apology from Steve. Now I have to be honest in saying that I get bombarded with tons of free subscriptions from the tech magazines. Some I read, some I toss. And what I do read is more often online than in hard copy. But this does point to the downside of Twitter... the very stream-of-consciousness metaphor that makes it so popular, and powerful, also makes it easy to type before you think. (via DF)
