Default A New Section--Steve's Twitters

I don't know if it would be worth Steve's time to create a section for his twitter musings, but some of them struck a chord with me and I would like to discuss them. I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss his twitter entries or if we should make a whole other forum to talk about his one to five sentence thoughts he has that are not bloggable at the time. I don't think it would be a high traffic forum because many of his twitters are simply status updates, but there are a few that are very insightful.

Thoughts/comments?

It would be easy to set the forum to automatically create new threads for my Twitter updates. I considered doing that already, but I think it would be major overkill and would clutter the forums.

A lot of junk/redundant threads would be created if I tried to automate this. There would be redundant threads for every blog post because those are automatically posted to Twitter, and there would be threads created whenever I replied to someone on Twitter too. So automating this wouldn't work well.

Most of the stuff I post to Twitter probably isn't discussion worthy. Twitter updates are only 140 characters max. People can already post replies to those status updates on Twitter or Facebook, so the mechanism is there for those who care to use it. I think adding a place to discuss those updates here would be overkill.

I appreciate the idea. I just can't see it working well in practice. Anyone can create a new thread here to discuss something from Twitter or Facebook though.
