Taking an interest in Twitter (@williamessex), which is relatively new to me. Apparent contrast between personal and impersonal, which doesn't quite correlate with private/corporate. There's the "we are on the bus" stuff at one extreme, and the "here is a link to my employer's latest press release" blah at the other. Both have their place, but idiosyncratic personal seems to work best. Twitter is a behind-the-scenes glimpse at its most alluring, I think.
Also useful, but even there, watching somebody else's plan develop, from a proposed meeting at Starbucks to whatever else, feels like the "legitimised" watching of a private conversation. The convention, as I understand it, is that any exchange with an @ in it, "an at conversation", is open for anybody to join.
