Excerpted from the Palo Alto Post Examiner:

Employees said the CEO had had enough.

Said one member of upper management, who wished to remain nameless, “Initially our company encouraged employee tweets during business hours and each was setup with their own account.  While the minimum amount of tweets per day was 15, some self-starters would express themselves with up to 37 tweets a day.  The CEO, wanting to keep his finger on the pulse of the company, would follow all their accounts daily.”

“It nearly drove him mad.  I found him lying on the floor one afternoon muttering about the ‘banality’ of it all.”

“I splashed him with some water, helped him up and we quickly wrote and sent the company directive striking the minimum tweet number and ordering all employees to refrain from mundane posts, such as ‘Restocking mechanical pencils in storeroom.’”

“The results have been wonderful.  Not a single tweet in 72 hours.”
