Imagine my surprise and delight when my editor took me aside the other day and told me she expected more frittering out of me. “I knew you’d see the light,” I told her. “After all, it’s what I do best.” Then she burst my bubble, as editors always do. Turns out there’s this brand new thing on the Interweb that all the kids are doing called “Twittering.” Me being so cutting-edge, she thought I’d be a natural at it. Twittering – for you sad souls who still read the real paper – is a way to instantly communicate with literally thousands, if not dozens, of strangers about what you ate for lunch or how many times you went to the bathroom yesterday. Back in the olden days, if you wanted to chitchat mindlessly with someone you didn’t know you had to buy a CB radio and get a job as a long-haul truck driver/Doug Clark, SR. More here.
