Lance, at least with blogs we have the luxury of context. You can use as many words as you require to paint the picture. In IM and Twitter the tone is too terse to really flesh out the exchange. Michael, thanks! Nice to see you. I'll get your secret Twitter decoder ring in the mail this week. And Dave, you got me. I envy your eye for detail. Congratulations on the expansion of the team! Thanks for the comments!

I had to send an email today announcing the addition of someone to our staff. I made sure I chose words that matched the intent of the importance of the hire and my excitement about the position. By-the-way, was your typo by accident or on purpose, "to critical"? Instead of too critical? Or were you making a point? You are such a GREAT writer! Blessings, Dave Hey Roger,

Many blogs and emails are such a mess, I have to discount the writer's commitment to the subject, that is when I can decipher what the subject is. Can I add tweets that are so obscure that the only message they convey is this: "I am so profound that you don't even know what I'm talking about." I agree wholeheartedly.

We say the words but there is no body language to help in the understanding. Some issues are so much easier to explain in person. I liked your blog on time zones..I always check now and don't assume... the communication link can sometimes be too fragile and you can lose it over small things....
