I love my shuffle. I love everything about it, well except for the size... The new ones are the size of a Chicklet and even easier to loose, but aside from that it is a great music listening device.
100 songs is perfect. More than enough for a trip of any duration in random order. No editing, no searching, no indication of what is coming next and it is amazing. I can listen to a run of Bocelli to the Beastie Boys to Buffy the musical. (Don't judge, what's on your iPod?) and still not know what is coming next. The anticipation of what is coming next is almost as much fun as listening to each song as it plays.
So what does an iPod have to do with Twitter?
140 characters is perfect. One or two quick lines to make a statement and share an idea. For me it is a blend of updates from friends about lunch, and artists about new releases, news from the front lines and industry headlines. All coming with no warning or filter. The anticipation and the information, all coming at the speed of life.
Give me my random tunes and my random news and by all means people, let's just keep it social!
