Like a coke dealer telling you not to do TOO much coke…

….at a talk yesterday in Montreal, Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter was quoted as saying spending too much time on Twitter was “unhealthy.” Kind of obvious, that furiously checking other peoples statuses and updating your own isn’t the best thing for your mental health, but it’s somewhat striking to hear that Stone would admit as much. It’d be hard to imagine Steve Jobs saying you shouldn’t spend so much time on your iPhone or Mark Zuckerberg suggesting you get off FB once in a while. Hopefully, Stone doesn’t get blog-ecuted for keeping it real.

There are a couple lessons to all new adults in the story of Irish party-bro Leigh Van Bryan, who wasn’t allowed into America, after the Department of Homeland Security saw a tweet where Mr. Leigh announced he was planning to “destroy America”. Mind you, he didn’t tweet it in the sense that he was going to literally destroy America. (I mean, look at him. This guy is as American as The Jersey Shore). He tweeted the message in the sense that he was going to “paint the country red”. (And I don’t mean commie red). And he got turned away at LAX. One agent actually told him “You’ve really messed up with that tweet, boy,”  You can read the details here, but that’s basically the gist.
