Great post and so agree. I haven’t been tempted to Twitter. I blog only about twice a week, because quite frankly, I’m not that interesting and I would never assume to pretend otherwise.

I’m just trying to figure out what the guy in the lower right of the picture is doing pointing his camera to take a picture of this phone. Is he taking a picture of how great everyone says this brunch is so he use it to blog about how everybody is twittering about how much fun this brunch is?

Oh wait. You just did that.

Long, long ago (in computer terms) there was a phenomenon known as the chatroom (it may still exist for all I know). People would sign on and engage in utterly boring conversations. I never joined in. It seemed pointless. When looking over a twitter post the other day, it occured to me it is simply a cluster-chat in a great big chat room. And equally pointless, only on a grander scale.

Technophobe? Me?

I completely agree with you. If anything tweeting just confirms for us how truly mundane our lives are; who needs that confirmation? That’s why I don’t tweet, or twitter or read anyone else’s twitterings. I feel so superior to all of you lowly twitterites. (BTW, can we please come up with a standard verb/noun for this action/thing? Chris – please work on this. The world is waiting…)

Of course, my non-twittering could be because I am what teens call…a “technotard.” I can’t negotiate my facebook page without my daughter leaning over my shoulder telling me which buttons to push. When she goes away to college this fall, I will simply cease to exist, electronically.
