Okay, I need to get something off of my chest.  Here goes:

I don’t get Twitter. I don’t get tweeting and I certainly don’t understand people that do twitter.

There, I have said it.  Now I have a Facebook account and check it at least once a day.  There I can get caught up with friends and family, and particularly with the status, I can gain a bit of insight into how their day went or what was the most important comment of the day from them.

But even in the context of Facebook, there are those that seem to have the need to update their statuses every hour… when they have a bowel movement, what they are eating, or what errand they are current running.  This is of course thanks to the mobile updating one can do with their cell phone.

Now take that mindless banter and crank it up a notch and you have Twitter.  The only way I can best sum it up is to share a video I came across the other day. It feels my pain and my dissillusionment at the mass of people that have become Twitters.  My condolences to them.  Remember: Friends don’t let friends tweet.
