> BobTo me, it's an additive thing. The more places out there where my words as gardenergirl are, the more I feel exposed. Babble is a community, and while i think growing the community is a good thing, I don't want our community to feel like a "reality show" for others' entertainment. Plus, Twitter, facebook, other social networking sites are places where I am my real-life identity. I am gardenergirl here. I keep those separate and choose who I trust my personally identifying information with as best as I can.
I would be for this only if folks are given the option to opt out of having their posts tweeted.
