Until today, I didn't realize how much I relied on having Twitter there. Like you, I'll go hours without updates or replies, but I liked having it *there*, open on my desktop, just in case I wanted to take a peek. Strange as it may be, I was less productive this morning/afternoon than I am when Twitter is alive and well. 

I also monitor and post the Twitter feed for the nonprofit I work for and I actually started to get worried that we were missing important stories and conversations in our area b/c I'm so used to being updated via Twitter. 

It's interesting to find out just how much we rely on technology when we suddenly can't use it anymore.
