Best of 2008: “Twitter: What are You Doing?” (March)
Dec 25, 2008 Best of the Blog
I first posted this on March 23rd.
STOP THE MADNESS!
Two of my best Internet friends have invited me to Twitter. In case, like me, you are an old man or woman:
Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?
Oh my gosh!!! Can you imagine?!
Okay, let’s walk through this.
- I already have a wife who asks this question, quickly and frequently. Since the introduction of the Global Husband Positioning System (i.e., cell phones and IM) this has really gotten to be quite an exact science.
- I am already, as this blog painfully proves, preposterously self obsessed, and pushing my every thought, movement, crisis, challenge, failure and experience out to the waiting millions. Plus I have … a BlackBerry, okay? I need another… thing?! (what is it? an “app”? a “platform”? a “social space”? a canker sore?) to obsess over?
- No. Just no!!!
