What a load. "Tap into the best minds"?? Today, as I watch this, the content displayed directly to the right of this video is about "Ghost-tweeter" Annie Colbert. She is the person hitting the keys when that "great mind" Guy Kawasaki "tweets". I'm no fan of G.K. anyway, but if I want to know what Guy is thinking, the reading whatever random 120 characters seem important to Annie Colbert does not sound like a good use of time. Buyer beware.
