This is an actual headline from CNN:
CNN retakes lead in Twitter battle with Ashton Kutcher
Let that sink in a moment. Let it roll around your brain and mingle with your stored-away facts and thoughts and aspirations.
Done?
Now tell me honestly: You're thinking it's time to build that bomb shelter and get it stocked, right?
I thought so.
I think this misses the point of Twitter. I use Twitter to communicate the important details of my life, such as what I ate for breakfast and when I plan to eat lunch. I don't have many followers, but of the few that I do I can easily say that I know all them like my brother.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness I haven't spoken to my brother in 6 months and I couldn't even tell you what state he's living in right now.

Adam - There's no greater praise I can give than to say you've made me smile on a Sunday morning even before the first pot of coffee is brewed.
ReplyDeleteI actually think Twitter is pretty cool and - in some cases - pretty useful.
But Ashton Kutcher just needs to go away. He needs to go to whatever secret place one might find Steve Guttenberg - and just stay there.
I still can't figure out why anyone uses Twitter, or why people follow me when I never tweet. I understand even less why anyone follows a celebrity.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm off to follow Adam and see what's for lunch. I hope it's soup!
Heh heh - you said tweet.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for jargon. Speaking of tweets, did you ever see the video about Flutter. It's all about the "flaps".
