Tweet Me Once, Tweet Me Twice


Twitter, you ask? On the 2010 "Bad" list? Yes indeed. Why? After all, a tweet yesterday in New Jersey saved a life. Now, that's a worthwhile use of the service. If only most twitters were that important many of us wouldn't waste our time tweeting our latest trip to the bathroom, or twittering endlessly over absolutely nothing. Isn't it getting to be a bit too-too much information? Did we really need to see the visual tweet Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore posted from their bed together a few months ago? I mean, c'mon...we all know you two's are still in lurve. (Well, at least they made it look like it following all of those embarrassing adultery accusations against Ashton.) And Demi, oh dear, your glasses looked so school-marmish! The sheets were a nice fuzzy golden colour, though, and - wait! What am I writing? Did I have to see that tweet? John and Yoko they are not but they may have been trying to give domestic peace a chance.

Sigh. You get what I mean? I know too much about nothing and more and more are knowing and showing too much about nothing, and it's become a sizzling-hot part of our culture. What could possibly replace Twitter in the future except inserting a micro camera chip into our foreheads to take the world with us on our daily adventures.

Actually, such an idea is not far off. Reality Tweet-Wii is probably right around the corner.

Okay, now if you'll look down and to your right, you'll see a "Tweet" button. Please tweet this post ASAP because it's very, very important info that must be shared.
