@wearehireable Hi! Why are you sending me spam?
@jkottke The correlation between percentage of not-sent-Tweets and the user’s position on introvert/extrovert spectrum might be… obvious?
@jkottke I think this is healthy, and feel Twitter might be a better place if more people showed our restraint.

How I did on Twitter this week: 3 New Spammers, 2 Regretted Tweets, 4 Deleted-Before-Sending Tweets, 428 Tweets Unread Because Dull. You?
@Beeker Happy Birthday! [all the emojis]
