The Daily Show‘s senior technology correspondent Samantha Bee investigates that newfangled Twitter thing nobody really understands. (Here’s a hint: there’s nothing to get.) At the moment, I’m following Sam’s lead and Twittering as I blog. I’M TWITTERING. RIGHT NOW.* EWAnnieBarrett, y’all. Great. So…now what? [DEAD AIR.] Press play below.
Hey, what a charming excuse to remind you to subscribe to EWPopWatch’s Twitter feed. (Though, if "Grunt" takes off within the week, we might switch over to that. Story developing.) Won’t you probably start a Twitter account, if only to make fun of yourself? I mean, this s*** is everywhere.
*I refuse to use ‘tweet’ as a verb. So I haven’t sold out completely. Yeah right!
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP! I’m beating my head against my desk trying to find ways to make my antiquated clients relevant to Twitter — it’s all we’ve been talking about in my office for a few months. I’m about to stab someone with a freshly sharpened pencil. John Stewart has it right — no one is “not getting” politicians or the mainstream media because the messages are too complex. They have a nifty application with no “real world” use and are trying to create a problem it can solve. (Grunt)
Twitter? Really? sigh
I need to keep this pointless post short so I can go Twitter that I have a new pointless post up before one of my Stalkers breaks this critical news first.
I’m not just important, I’m meta-important(tm)!
Twitter probably is the worst invention of the 21st century and EW should be ashamed for jumping on the bandwagon in the new issue.
I despise Myspace and Facebook, but, I admit it, Twitter got me. It is silly and fun and, yeah, there are plenty of idiots there (how unusual on the internet,) but I’ve gotten loads of great information from the people I follow. Long live Twitter! (Russ Feingold’s following me, hee hee.)
