Poor cat! I like that when I read the story earlier today it was her “fiance” and now it is “ex-fiance”.
North Korea.
South Korea is actually pretty cool, they do things like remove freeways and restore rivers even when their business community tells them it bankrupt the country. (The public loved it and the businesses didn’t have any problems because traffic actually went down.) Of course, Jasun Wurst-dressed-er would like us to make us think that means that Sam “12 lanes” Adams has a lot in common with North Korea, but in truth, Sam just has a lot in common with Atlanta.
Yeah, what is the deal with Twitter?!
I haven’t updated my Twitter thingy in like 2 weeks, but the unfunniness of this video (particularly in relation to how funny it thinks it is) makes me want to immerse myself in a computer-mediated social reality and never come out. It actually somehow made Twitter seem cooler.
North Korea. SORRY. I was distracted with some delicious almonds.
And I kind of agree with you Alison. I don’t like the video but the very fact that someone is making this video means it’s over for twitter.
I will rejoice in the death of twitter, and hope it happens soon.
I would probably despise it less if it didn’t have a cutesy name, and if that cutesy noun wasn’t made into a cutesy verb.
I hate hearing old people try to talk about Twitter. It’s so infantilizing. It makes me sad.
Twitter gave aids to Magic Johnson.
What we need to focus on is what is going to give Lebron James his Creme de la Creme, if you know what I mean.
AMIRITE?
I thought the video was pretty funny. The tones of the people’s posts – sort of big blurts out to no one (“Watching TV on my couch with my cat!”) – are the exact tones in my head when I read twitters.
I felt bad for a moment the other day when I thought something like, “Maybe I don’t care about my friends enough to care what they’re posting all the time on twitter.” But then I relaxed and read livejournal and was happy!

Good luck.
