I wish that Mashable had a pre-publishing grammar troll. Just in case we didn't know when this incident happened, it is mentioned three times in the same sentence: "this week".

"This is something that Iâ€™ve seen amplified this week with the avalanche of Twitter follows Iâ€™ve reciprocated this week since Adam urged me to publish the Twitter names of the Mashable editorial and writing staff this week"

About 1/6th of the words in this sentence are "this week". More like "that's weak".

I have two Twitter accounts.

One is personal and protected. I have ~20 active contacts. I don't really care for more. I use it to catch links to breaking news items, for Q&A, and for short exchanges. I also use it to collect information/keywords for a personal project of mine (those twits get saved and all the rest are deleted every day or so).

The other is new, unprotected and is both a kind of micro-blog as well as a way announce posts on my primary blog. I don't/won't "follow" any other accounts with it. I post links and short comments about stuff I find online that's interesting but not so interesting I want to spend a lot of time writing a full blog entry about it. For those things I write the entry and post a twit to it.

Working for me.
