"Twitter takes the Pringles analogy to its logical conclusion. It's something like a collection of personal blogs, only each entry is limited to 140 characters, so you end up with a vertical stack of bite-size, artificially flavored communication snacks. They're oddly compelling while remaining staunchly unsatisfying, and it always feels like maybe the next one will quell the roiling ennui inside."  Read more here.

I joined Twitter a long time ago.  I can't really remember when.  Basically I never used it.  I got tweets from a few people every once in a while.  In the past few weeks it really seems to have taken off.  Still not me sending much but everyone else is.  And I wish I had the texting skills to answer back on my phone but I get frustrated when my fingers don't keep up with my brain.  And it is blocked at work so my only chance is at home.  I mostly just read everyone esle's little jots.
