In other Kyle news, he has been writing a column with Bill Childers in Linux Journal for awhile now. The column is called Point/Counterpoint, where they talk about opposing sides of different geeky topics. In the most recent column, they talk about Twitter. Bill likes it, Kyle does not. An excerpt:

Bill: Okay, I get that you’re annoyed. But admit it, you’re still judging without fully understanding.

Kyle: What’s there to understand? People read text; people occasionally reply to text. You get into a group with certain people and all of them see what you write and (potentially) vice versa.

Bill: The difference is the audience is broader. Broader than arguably a blog. You could use it as a good marketing tool, if you quit judging.

Bill: But noooo, just go ahead and sit in your tower, and pout.

Ouch! Read the rest here.
