Twit THIS

In an effort to drive up readership and sales numbers, I'm going to talk about something current and popular.

Twitter.

Twitter has been all over the news lately, and I would like to throw in my two cents to this diverse and complex issue. Here is what I think:

Why the hell is everyone talking about Twitter?

Let me tell you everything you need to know about Twitter in one sentence: it is a site where you can give people up-to-the-minute updates on your life and not be considered annoying because people have to choose to follow it and they expect a lot of updates.

That's IT. That's all the site is. There's no reason it should be discussed to the degree it is. It's fun for people who like it, but it's essentially one Facebook's central features removed from all the other crap that comes with Facebook.

I realize people are trying to keep up with technology and the news wants to stay young and hip, but maybe you should teach people about the goddamn Hadron Collider or something instead of teaching them about possibly the most sinmplistic and (for most of the people who actually watch news) inane and useless types of technology that's on the interwebs.

Disclaimer: I don't think Twitter itself is dumb, if you have one. I myself do not Twit because it would bring to the harsh, shining light of day just how much of my time I spend on here.

Also they'd all just be about Star Ocean or food.

P.S. I don't know whether or not to have pickles on my sandwich today. I got all these pickles but I don't know if I feel like having any. But if I get halfway through my sandwich and I realize I should have had them I'll regret it all day (I don't usually alter a sandwich once it's made, I think it's disrespectful).

I'll let you guys know what I finally choose.
