twitter schmitter

Thursday, Sep 20. 2007  –  Category: Musings

so i confess. i totally don’t get the whole “micro-blogging” thing on twitter. i guess it’s convenient for blogging random little snippets here and there from your phone – but seriously, i swear, half the people i know doing so are doing it from their iPhones (yeah you Sara), or their otherwise keyboard-enabled smart phone and could just as easily blog it on their main blog.

is it for status updates of what people are doing?

am i going to twitter “taking a piss. why do people miss?”?

or “cleaning up my dog’s puke cause they ate dog poop and grass”?

i totally don’t get it.

/me ain’t hip. (and not just cause i emote with IRC actions either)

so here’s my micro blog: “woke up today totally into the idea of green t-shirts. need to get more somehow”

    I’m trying it. Initially, I loved it. Now I’m not so sure. :)

    You need to add uneetee.com to your daily feed. (Along with xkcd, Jesus and Mo, Questionable Content, etc.) I just bought “Paradise”, and I expect to buy about one a month. Cool stuff. No twittering.

    thanks geoff – i’m totally gonna slurp their RSS feed now :)

    threadless.com has some great shirts. sadly, the Reservoir Dogs one is sold out, but i’m about 2 clicks away from buying the “pickles are cucumbers soaked in evil” shirt. ;)

    dude, i should buy that pickles shirt, too! i get a lot of crap from my golf buddies for my “no pickles” tag on all my orders at our clubhouse.

    and yeah, i agree with you on twitter. though we might have had fun with it in that epic traffic jam you’re trying to forget about ;-)
