218) Twitter

It's easy to understand the unwaveringly seductive appeal of a website that allows you to know how Dennis Haysbert felt about "All About Steve" and follow the every mindless thought of your one "political" friend who doesn't really know anything about politics or having friends in the same place. Seriously, what's not annoying about the one thing that everybody who knows very little about modern technology/life won't stop talking about, from its astonishing power to break up the relationship of the two blandest people on Earth to its apparent power to save Iran or something, Twitter is to today what television was to the 40s: a pretty cool idea that won't actually intentionally do anything worthwhile for roughly 60 years.



Plus, when the thing breaks down, you get to see a, um, whale with, uh, birds. So. There's that. No saccharine-soaked annoyance there. No sir.

So we can expect plenty of Twitter equivalents to "The Newlywed Game", "Small Wonder", and "Wheel of Fortune", dotted with the occasional Twitterverse equivalent of the Moon landing and "Twin Peaks" until finally the Twitter gets its "Lost".


It's worth noting/mourning the fact typing the term "Twitterverse" did not yield a red squiggly underlining. Repent.

Also, because we want to keep up the appearance of actual work without actually doing to much of it, we now have a Twitter page/account/tweeting area/thing:
