Listening to a grownup talk about their latest "tweets" makes me want to head for the woods and start building mantraps.  An actual real person was talking to me in the pub about it and I had the urge to give him one nostril with a broken bottle of Stella.

Anyways...That guy...Nice tits.

I’m pretty far off the grid, and this self-important twitter bullshit has even shown up on my hate radar.  Facebook is bad enough.

At least texting serves a function...it's to a particular person on a particular topic.  Twitter makes the erroneous assumption that people are so interesting that other people find them fascinating and want to be updated on their every inane thought or action.  I had a friend ask me tonight if I was joining twitter because she wanted to put me on her blast list....I am questioning our friendship.

100 Things More Popular Than Twitter

But, hey, it's more popular than the National Hockey League...

“I wanted to be late” means “my hen group get together at Starbucks where we bitch about how awful men are” is more important than your schedule or wishes.  Such a self-centered cunt should be strung along for poontang usage until a better replacement has been secured.  And if you Twitter and Tweet, you will never get your self-respect back!

You're there, dude. Want my advice, give it all the heave your next trip over the bay bridge.

Did we just get called twats?

That's what was stopping you -- you were waiting for me to call you names?

You should be greatful, Peggy. If I didn't run Cruel.Com so badly in the last few years we wouldn't be here.

Now, now, don't beat yourself up.
Or maybe you should.
Either way, you come here far too little.

Texting should have stayed on cellphones, where I can barely admit it belongs. You once had limitations on who you could send a message to, now you can send to a whole list. The network news carried something yesterday on two girls that respectively had about 14K and 36K text messages a month. You can bet half of these are little more than "LOL." Twitter strikes me as nothing greater than an aggregator of everybody's cellphone brainfarts. Barring the fact that I don't want to know what anyone I know is doing from moment to moment. Facebook, which I joined last March but have only been active on since November, has rolled out some UI changes that are utterly repellent and more Twitter-like.

It's not two tastes that taste great together. I considered a FB a bigger brother to MySpace, something more "serious" about how people made connections, networked, and chose to communicate with each other every other day or so...and intended for a slightly older demographic than the high school/college sophomore set. Now sending all the "gifts" and Superpokes are just damned lame, and the Home/feed page is a mess.

That’s LinkedIn.  I’m on, and hate, that one too.
