According to the New York Times<\/a><\/strong>, casting directors are now Tweeting as they audition for talent.\u00a0 The main culprit in the Times story was Daryl Eisenberg<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 In anticipation of criticism, Eisenberg issued a “free speech” defense … specifically \u201cThere is NO rule\/guideline against Twitter\/Facebook\/MySpace\/Friendster. Freedom of speech. Ever heard of it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"6a00d835466f3a53ef0115711bfbf9970b-800wi\"I wonder if Eisenberg would be so charitable if someone else was Tweeting about him every time he, say, applied for a job or pitched a show idea.<\/p>\n

And if I use Eisenberg’s logic, does it mean I can Tweet while I interview candidates at Brodeur Partners<\/a><\/strong>?\u00a0 How would that work?\u00a0 Something like …<\/p>\n

“Hold on, you just said something really stupid, funny, incipient, lame, insightful [pick one].\u00a0 My folks got to hear about this one.\u00a0 Just a second while I grab my BlackBerry<\/a><\/strong>. ”<\/p>\n

… or …<\/p>\n

“I know I’m not looking at you but I’m listening … really I am.\u00a0 You have no idea how focused I am on you and your well being right now.\u00a0\u00a0 And to prove it I’m tweeting to my 5,000 followers on Twitter — most of whom I don’t know and, to be frank really don’t care to know —\u00a0 about what you just said.\u00a0 Can you repeat that again, a bit slowly?\u00a0 BTW, your mannerisms also crack me up.\u00a0 Can you do that thing with your hands again?\u00a0 I may need some time to figure out how to text that in 140 characters.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To me, the offense is not one of publicity.\u00a0 Eisenberg didn’t name names.\u00a0 The offense is one of civility.<\/p>\n

There are limits to multitasking — or at least there should be.\u00a0 Besides, the same NewYorkTimes a week later confirmed what we all have known for awhile — multitasking makes you mediocre<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mediocre.\u00a0 That’s worse that being stupid.<\/p>\n

Are there places where people should simply not tweet?<\/p>\n

Apparently the folks at the U.S. Open tennis tournament<\/a><\/strong> think so.\u00a0 The sad part is that the reasons they give have more to do with commerce than decorum and civility.\u00a0 (There’s a fear is that it would screw up tennis gambling)<\/p>\n

Where are your no tweet zones?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
