I don't know. I can see some pretty valid reasons for protecting your feed. Really, the only reason to NOT protect your updates is if you want others to see your posts without exposing yourself to theirs. Granted, if everyone was protected the growth of Twitter's follow network would be drastically decreased and somewhat would defeat the sharing purpose. But, there are still valid reasons. Foremost, is keeping the availability of your posts under your control (ie. away from your coworkers). There's also the idea that if you're worried about what someone might think of your post, you perhaps should not post it. Protecting your updates balances this. -- arno s hautala /-\ [email protected] pgp eabb6fe6 d47c500f b2458f5d a7cc7abb f81c4e00 _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
