TWITTER: [Dave Portnoy: “Do you ever tweet out and then wake up like, ‘Oh, man, I wish I didn’t send that one out’?”] “Often. Too often. It used to be, in the old days, you’d write a letter, and you’d say, ‘This letter’s really big.’ You’d put it on your desk, and then you go back tomorrow and you say, ‘Oh, I’m glad I didn’t send it.’ Right? But we don’t do that with Twitter. Right? We put it out instantaneously, we feel great, and then you start getting phone calls: ‘Did you really say this?’

You know what I find? It’s not the tweets, it’s the retweets that get you in trouble… You see something that looks good, and you don’t investigate it, and you don’t look at what’s on the helmet exactly, right, which is in miniature, and you don’t blow it up. But I have found almost always it’s the retweets that get you in trouble.”
