Occasional Black Eyed Pea Will.i.am copped some flak recently for tweeting while he was running with the Olympic Torch. Sharing once-in-a-lifetime events seems to me a better use of Twitter than just random commentary, but then I’m a happily frequent user of Twitter and I’m not too worried about Olympic dignity. So what are the occasions where using Twitter (or any other social networking site) simply isn’t on?

There are some obvious answers to this:
- when you’re at dinner or in conversation with someone else who doesn’t also have a phone;
- during sex;
- at a play (since your phone screen lighting up is distracting for other audience members; I’d be less worried at a concert).
What would you add to the list? Tell us in the comments (but bear in mind that your boundaries are not necessarily going to be everyone else’s).
