I think Jason Fried just has a bunch of negative friends. I tend to see a lot of extremes on twitter. Something is either totally awesome or pitifully stupid. Not a lot of middle ground.

I agree. If you look at the frequency of posts containing "I like" or "I hate", for example:

or

Looks like DHH wrote that entry.

You are correct. I didn't notice that. I guess that makes all the more sense :)

I take this back. I met DHH at Startup School this past weekend and he was incredibly nice.

Then who needs Twitter? Just go to any place of employment and listen.
