@TDRFollowers,

For those of you not up to date on your latest technology, that is how I would direct a Twitter message to one of my friends. Like you, my TDR faithful. There has been a recent twittering of activity, if you will, about this new networking phenomenon. You may have read about it in the latest Time magazine or in a variety of national newspapers. Across the country, reporters who like to think that they are in touch with the latest technology trends have become obsessed with this website, which allows users to post status updates on whatever they are currently doing. This brings us to our Daily Topic: TWITTER

Despite the recent buzz over Twitter, I am much more skeptical. Actually, I despise Twitter. To me, this narcissistic and pathetic excuse for human interaction is the epitome of a self-centered demagoguery which allows the user to believe that people care about the mundanities of their everyday life. But really, people, no one cares where you're on a plane to or what graduation ceremonies you're at, or how boring it is. Often seen as the future of social networking, Twitter represents a new low in the human condition. Lets pretend that I am an avid Twitter user. This is what you would see as my follower:

Congratulations Twitter, you have caused society to sink to a new low. But fortunately, I think that Twitter is overhyped and likely to play much less of a roll than expected. Once the honeymoon affect wears off, perhaps people will realize not only the utter ridiculousness of Twitter but how inconvenient and difficult it is to update something everyday. Like a blog. You can follow me on Twitter, but I hope you have better things to do,
