Thumbs up: I’m loving the direct messages from Twitter! Recently, I have received a handful of direct messages from folks that I have started to follow (thank you). What a wonderful way to thank people for following you, further enforce the online relationship, and promote the other aspects of your virtual presence.

Thumbs down: Pandora commercials. Ugh! Could this be the end of Pandora? It will be interesting to observe since Pandora could be walking a fine line – and I’m eager to witness user response. In regards to my own threshhold, I can stand the one commercial every five or ten songs, but it definetly interfers with my listening enjoyment – and deviates from the whole reason why I use Pandora (i.e. uninterrupted, commercial-free music).
