Tweet! Tweet!

ESOTERICA

Gary Trudeau is currently lampooning the Twitter craze, and I don't blame him. That people are broadcasting their every activity seems to me to be the height of self-indulgence, and the fact that people are actually following this tripe is the height of lifelessness.

A few months ago, DarLucky (oh so gently) reproved me when I started to indicate similar minutiae on the "What are you doing now?" portion of Facebook, indicating that Facebook protocol was such that readers who saw this kind of thing really were offended by it. I quickly saw the accuracy of his argument and desisted immediately.

Now it seems that Twitter allows such activities to occur. This, apparently, is progress.

UPDATE - And Friday's Doonesbury is even better!
