Finally! A balanced opinion! I wish it were posted sooner. I commented (not a fan of Twitter), but I can see why people would find it useful. While most people thought Rolf was Condescending to Twitter and those that Tweet and I personally felt the article at BootsnAll was a bit condescending to those that are "unplugged." The author mentions repeatedly how the unplugged travelers use demeaning phrases like "adolescent navel gazers" and takes Rolf to task for "should-ing" travelers, yet she makes no mention of the assumptions the pro-twitter people make about how people who prefer to travel with less technology simply MUST be inexperienced and newbies. You know what they say about ASSumptions.
As I stated there, I'm 27 and due to my fortune of being born when I was, simply can't get away from technology. So to assume I have no experience just because I voted for unplugged makes me want to digitally slap someone. But I respect their use of Twitter and hope they respect my choice not to tweet.
What was my point? Oh yeah, loved this. I just think you presented both sides fairly and accurately. Thanks!
