That is a great thing because then you arent bearing the burden yourself. Another Twitter feature we should use a lot is the reply feature. I dont have to have something awesome to say in reply to a friend. A simple "got it", "thanks", "man that sucks Im praying for you" could go a long way to boost someone's day. I dont know if I would follow you all the way to the addiction though. What happens if you cant get to your Twitter account or if Twitter goes down for a few days? Now you have become reliant on something that cannot over the long haul supply the needs that you have. One of my friends says this is like trusting a dysfunctional savior to take you to what you think will be heaven...but only turns out to be a dysfunctional heaven because you were trusting in a dysfunctional savior.
