At some point, though, it's probably easier to just go back to group txt messaging for the double secret stuff. I’ve kicked that around, too.

My solution was to set up two Twitter accounts, one public and one private (see http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/01/21/the-twitters/). Perhaps appropriately for the context, that solution doesn't scale very well. Yep.

Twitter is funny, though - the chatter is very immediate (I very rarely tweet about future events and never about past), and I find myself dropping all kinds of clues I'd never blog.

Many times, I'd like to talk about an upcoming vacation or conference...but wonder about those watching the blog that I prefer not to watch the blog. Often, I have taken the safer road and only announced my presence at a conference or "fun trip" after the event. My wife calls me paranoid, I call myself a "realist".

My wife calls me paranoid, I call myself a “realist”.

I added a "(Like whether I’m out of town.)" to make the point more clear - that's exactly what concerns me. It feels strange to announce your absence. More so when some of your family is at home.

Interesting to ponder - what you reveal in a tweet actually reveals what you did not consider as well...i.e I am in Austin, also means you are not home. My wife and I just had the conversation tonight on how easy it is to now find out if your sig other is cheating. Why, cellphones...you can infer the obvious, but also disect the unobvious. Your partners bills shows 244 txt msgs, you check his phone daily and the history is gone? Who deletes history daily - oh smarty, you just got busted with indirect proof.
