"He estimates he gets 500 e-mails every day, and last year he posted 1,550 times on Web messaging service Twitter to distribute news and information as fast as it comes in."Yes, if "news and information" counts as where he's going to lunch and what he's doing minute by minute. Endless spews of useless garbage - at least use it constructively.
it's easy for everyone on the web to bash a guy like major nelson,,when was the last time you devoted YOUR time to volunteer to work for your job for FREE ? but for someone to offer their personal time and effort to produce a podcast that usually has really good information on it, despite the fact that he may seem sometimes like a corporate puppet. You gotta understand his voice is heard by tons of people and if he was obnoxious and said some off color remarks ( similar to the majority of live players ) I'm sure Mr. Gates would pull the plug and send him swimming with the fishes with Jimmy Hoffa. its the CYA clause folks. I still appreciate all the insight from listening.
