“ Twitter did not just kill my blog though, it also killed my golf game. I have not played a round of golf since my birthday in September and as passionate as I have been about golf since my early teens, I barely miss it. Tiger Woods wounded my golf game because no matter how much I played or practiced and no matter how much technology I threw in my bag, I could NEVER hit the shots he could hit. Twitter finished it off for now because it replaces the social part of the game that I craved. The course was where I ‘closed’ business.

i haven’t played a round of golf since last may, so that makes two golf games social media has killed off. And Howard “closed me” by commenting on my blog incessantly. He knows all about social leverage.

I’m sure the time I spend on Twitter has come from somewhere, but I don’t think it’s cut into social time. In fact, I think it’s created new social opportunities that I’ve enjoyed.
