It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's CMYKaboom! on Twitter!

"Batman Joins Twitter" by canofpopdotcom

Have you heard of this thing called Twitter? Apparently it's all the rage with the young hooligans, so I thought I would give it a whirl. And now I am extremely addicted.

Over the last week, I have been twittering like mad. Here are my assessments of this new technology:

It's weird to me that famous people like twittering. People Like Shaq and Trent Reznor. It's completely awesome, yet still is a little weird. Just goes to show that no one is too famous to waste time on the Internet.

I spend a rather embarrassing amount of my time looking for famous people on Twitter.

Kate Bush is sadly not on Twitter. :(

It's really tricky compartmentalizing thoughts into 140 characters. It's a mixture of haiku and sudoku. Also, it takes a monumental force of will to preserve the integrity of the English language in this format.

Those who do not exert the force of will to preserve the integrity of the language in a tweet should be beaten to death with their own computer keyboards. I'm sorry, but "PLZ DRM 2 need ovaltn 4 @MarkyMark!" means NOTHING to me, and nothing is important enough for me to waste time puzzling it out.

I am saving heaps of time and disappointment that I formerly experienced visiting my favorite blogs, only to discover they have not been updated since my last visit. Now, a sweet little tweet lets me stay up to date with all the new blog/news dirt.

The New York Times is much more palatable in 140 characters.
