Ok no but seriously. I don’t really understand how anyone could say that blogging is dead because of twitter. Are books dead because of headlines?

Twitter is a means of expressing ( and reinforcing ) both your universal humanity ( in that we all have these little annoyances in our lives) and your individuality ( they aren’t all the same for everyone, and their reactions are a bit different ) in 140 characters or less. Enforcing brevity upon such things is a way to distill them down to their essence.

Or something.

When my great grandfather went off to fight in World War 1 he never came home and my great grandmother never learnt what became of him. Today our young men and women serve overseas yet in an instant they can reassure their families they’re safe.
A baby is born and a proud father sends a picture instantly to grandparents so they can rejoice in the miracle of a new life.
Our machines roll across the surface of alien worlds and through their eyes we can see wonders beyond the imagination of earlier generations. And we have Twitter so I can pay to tell total strangers I’ve gone to take a dump and there’s no toilet paper.

In related good news… were you aware that Abe Vigoda is still alive, and walking the streets of the Upper East Side?

(Sadly, though, I’m not sure Abe Vigoda is aware of it)

God doesn’t exist either, now, according to the bus, so it’s just as well.

Damn, I sent flowers and a nice card as well. Typical.
