Best regards, Andrew Hi Blondie Writes,

I think that you’ve hit the nail on the head - do it, don’t overdo it.

Best regards, Andrew

I choose mostly the articles that relate to readers I have talked to. It is okay to an extent, but over doing it can make people upset.

I agree entirely about NSFW - it should always be marked as such because of the blended work/life world we live in - and I have friends that I don't open emails from at work for just this reason (as you never know exactly what they'll send you). Best regards, Andrew Hi Nathanael,

Twitterpimping is ok to some extent - I mean, Jaiku does it automatically if you set up the feed. So does Facebook. But then there are some people who do it a little too much - have a look at @bentrem on Twitter (someone I follow, so I'm not bagging them - but I know they're a good example of chronic twitterpimping). But I have two requests of friends who post links on Twitter - and that's mainly due to everything being converted to TinyURL or equiv. Please flag if it's Safe For Work and what it's about! A tweet that simply consists of a TinyURL link with a 6 character alphanumeric ID string doesn't give me much incentive to click it, especially at work.
