It gives me a little more control over who follows me. For instance, I generally don't let "brands" or people with unnaturally high following:followers ratios, but if you're a real human being whom I know or who makes some effort, then I don't mind letting you follow me. Also, I just suppose anyone following my personal twitter account who only knows me from my film blog might be surprised at all the other frivolous stuff I talk about, so it's really meant for people who know me personally. It's funny how Twitter now is like blogging was in 2000. We're all figuring out our boundaries and what's acceptable to talk about. I suppose after learning those lessons (well, still learning them) with my blogs, I'm just trying to apply them to this new "microblogging" environment. Sorry for the long-winded response!

I didn't realize you had another for your blog. Do you protect them so others can see or just so Google isn't caching them? I always assumed protected Tweets meant not open to the public.

I've been trying to "cross over" from Interactive to Film myself the past few years, and I hope that some of this information will make it easier for the two communities (who have so much in common) to meet. p.s. I've got two Twitter accounts: @jmcnally is personal (and not strictly film-related) and @toscreenshots is for my film blog.
