Why would I limit myself here in any way? I think that's a terrible idea. But then again, maybe I'm using my social networks wrong and the difference (to my blog for example, which has technical content) is exactly that I don't want to send my "I've discovered a nice brand of coffee today" message to a 10 person coffee circle (I don't care enough), but to the people who follow me. This only makes sense because I've been successfully using Twitter for 13ish years with <200 followers and following.
