That's a mighty personal question, Chris. Do you ever wake up needing to brush your teeth? - Edward Vielmetti
nah. when I wake up the last thing I want is to connect with people. - Nicholi
Chris, yes, I am human and need to sleep. If I open a convo at 9/10PM in the evening with folks on .AU / .JP zones and then next AM, I am anxious to see what responses are there on thread. Secondly, there are classic face2face when u meet your online friends, is like "its just like old friends meeting for the 1st time" !! anxiety's surfaces and then quickly disappears. However, there is a flip side to this too..online freinds too - Peter Dawson
Great to run across you Chris. Yes. I'm typically introverted but soc netting has really encouraged me to spread my wings, meet folks online and more in person. Been to several meetups now - tweeters, bloggers, and social media. Always excited about that now. - Todd Jordan
Edward - I brush my teeth reasonably quickly after waking up. Shortly after I use the toilet and wash my hands. - Chris Brogan
Not when I wake up, but usually around 10 am. :) - Sonciary Honnoll
I hate to admit it, but get on computer before I grab coffee. - Michelle Martinez
what michelle said - wait coffees ready be right back ;) - mike "glemak" dunn
I just woke up, picked up my iPhone, fired up FF to see what's what & saw this...post complete...connected. Good Morning. - Carlos Ayala
I usually wake up cranky, in a totally disconnected mode, after a few smokes things change a little... - jk5027a
Anxious isn't the word I'd use, perhaps eager. Every morning it's coffee, a smoke, and a perusal of the morning rush to beat the next guy to publication. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Give me an hour or so. Then we'll talk. - Paul Whitaker
Yes, I love morning coffee meetings. - David Finch
I'm a morning person. don't talk to me past 3 in the afternoon. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
Sometimes I rush the getting ready process so I can sit down and see what everyone is up to you :) - Jennifer Van Grove

No. Unless you mean filled with anxiety over having to meet with people ;) - Clint Ecker
No, not really. I get anxious on catching up on whatever I've missed, a holdover habit from my youth. Usually, whatever "happened" is not that important but I still want to get "in the know" whether it is political news or just pop culture. Once I get the basic facts about a situation, I can relax and just talk to people, read stories in depth, etc. That's not anxious, that's normally pure pleasure. - Liz
Always. Laptop is by my bed, jump on to Twitter. - Francine Hardaway
more than connecting with people.. it it to know wht these people are upto!!! - Moksh Juneja

I wake up (this includes washing face, etc in bathroom), look at the list of new emails, have coffee, read twitter and THEN say good morning. I tend to need coffee before interacting. - chelpixie
I sleep with my laptop, to stay close to my connections :P - Phillip Jeffrey
One of the best posts about racism I've read. "The “he’s black, he can say that” argument does not fly with me. That’s the root problem with racism. If a word is “wrong” everyone stop saying it otherwise, obviously, it’s not that bad, is it? - chelpixie
I haven't really gotten into it yet, though I have played around with it. Seems like something Microsoft should have done with OneNote. - Mack D. Male
I've had it for a while, I wasn't that impressed, but then again, I don't know if it's something I need. Could be great for some. - Greg Hollingsworth

I think Evernote gives your camera phone a purpose. - Kreg Steppe
The one feature I would really like to see is the ability to not sync certain notebooks with the web version. That would let me use it at work, as it is I can't use it for work stuff because I cannot share all of that info with a web service. - Mike McBride
Still over on Twitter, seems to be stable! - Rob Usdin
That's strange because I've gotten maybe 20 tweets on my Twitter page this morning. Not so stable? - chelpixie
I'm seeing all the tweets I think I should be getting. If there was a way to have Friendfeed import all 500 people I follow on Twitter, I'd switch, but it'd be a real chore finding them all manually, since I don't have email addresses for all of them. - Rob Usdin
I'm simply putting Twitter aside until later. Much to do in the mean time. - Ed Roberts
via twhirl
rob is 100% correct. If I could only move all my friends to friendfeed. - David Jacobs
I agree with Rob (and, I think, your sentiment): It's NOT about the Twitter, it's about the people. Twitter should learn this asap; I don't particularly care about the network, I care about the people I connect with. One of the first rules of advertising is that it's NEVER about you and your product, it's about the needs of your customer. - Dan Patterson
I love Twitter's interface and using Twirl makes my experience with it perfect. I'm not calling for a mass move but I really don't want to lose touch with people that I've met on Twitter because they can't get their act together. Friendfeed is giving me too much information. Twitter is overwhelming sometimes, sure, but Friendfeed intensifies that for me. It's not short bits, it's my friends entire social network (or what others choose to share of theirs) streaming through my day. - chelpixie
Awesome indie band Telling on Trixie starts a plan to make their next album and music video fund by the fans with some great incentives for people to chip in wee or not so wee amounts to help them reach their goal! - chelpixie
I don't think at this point that Hillary can stay in the race without looking like a fool. Her comments about the assassination really just put her over the edge of losing my respect. - chelpixie
I'm no Obama fanatic, and I don't HATE Hillary. However, I've been pretty disappointed by the rhetoric she and her staffers have espoused regarding this Kennedy assassination 'scandal.' Their defensive attitude has demonstrated how little the campaign has learned during the process, and shows just how arrogant they are. Very disappointing. - Dan Patterson
The silver lining: we shouldn't have to worry about Hillary being the VP anymore. - exador23
I don't support Obama, but I can't imagine a situation in the world that would get me to vote Billary in '08. The last thing we need is another carpet-bagging, fear mongering professional politician in the white house. Obama will most likely not get my vote either, at this point I'm leaning towards Bob Barr the LP candidate. - Greg Hollingsworth
I asked this on Twitter, but curious to know what you all think: Presuming Obama is the nominee, where does Hillary fit in? I'm clueless. I can see Biden as Secretary of State, and Richardson as VP - but still no idea about Clinton. Thoughts? - Dan Patterson
I think her campaign style of assassination politics & exploitation of divisions will preclude any significant role, but Obama is shrewd - anything can happen. If anything, SecHealth or Labor makes sense. I would like to see a Libertarian leaning VP to offset knee-jerk old-school big government solutions to the issues Obama is focusing on. Hoping for Hagel as SecState - am I naive? - exador23
should she? yes. will she? no. *shrug* It will make for a more interesting convention in August. ;) - Sarah Vela
