Paula, limiting Twitter is a great idea. I’ve found myself getting sucked in, so I try to go on Twitter after hours for pleasure, in the mornings/noon for business. Facebook, oy. The disparity of opinions and frankly the lack of tact some people have suck me in every time. I’ve stopped looking during work hours, though occasionally I do regress.

Because the news is getting progressively (or regressively, in many ways) disturbing, I’ve had to limit my Twitter time to pre-work, a few minutes at lunch time, and evening hours. Not that I always succeed. It doesn’t mean I don’t care about national new and wold events; it means I need a sanity break. Plus, 75% of my feed consists of people retweeting and commenting on the same tweets.
