> Problem is, that any research he might do that makes use of babble or twitter I assume will be done by him as an employee of the University of Chicago. As I sit here right now at the U of C, I wonder how his Dept. Chair would feel about all the people who so object not only to having posts go to twitter but to now having a much more public link to Babble.
Research I might do wouldn't necessarily need to be done as an employee of the University. This site is owned and operated by Dr. Bob LLC and not the University. Also, research could be done without my involvement or even knowledge. Those who object to being tweeted are free to opt out. And I disagree that Twitter is more public than Google.
Maybe these concerns reflect feelings of powerlessness? Or mistrust?
