are any of you assholes on Twitter?

i'll give the first person to show me an interesting post on twitter (and yes, i know shaq is on twitter but he's an ignorant asshole) five dollars.

shaq's twitter is so good though.

Twitter is less about "posts" and more about the "feed".  Most 140 character posts, not that  great on their own (SHAQ excluded) but some people do magic with their feeds.

I like it because I can get it on my crackberry (or as Shaq would say, my SHAQBerry).  It's cool to see what peeps are saying about events... like I'm at a bar watching the debates and I can get running commentary.

Whatever, I'm a nerd.

ignorant compared to who?  he's shaq!  he was in fucking kazam!  he's a ball player.  ...or he was.

i apologize if my lack of attention towards the nba lately has caused me to miss shaq's transition from center to proust scholar.

kid to kazam: "you wish!"
kazam: "like the main man did with two loaves and a fish."

[uggly]

the word twitter makes me think of laverne's twittering asshole chirping every time i'm in the room.

pass.

[sgo shocks]

tom sharpling's novel is being written line by line on twitter. it's genius.

The only way Twitter is compelling is if you can convince your entire group of friends to use it too. Then it takes on use value. Otherwise, it is pretty useless.

Here is my well thought out hierarchy

Friends > friends of friends > "in the know" locals who you don't really know (great for advertising shows - twitter people attendance is usually way high percentage wise  - you thought facebook groups were good for this) > People you kind of know online (I've followed the guy from Smashing Transistor for a year now, and "'know" him a lot better now)  > Insane celebs (Shaq) > People pretending to be celebs (exception: fake michael bay, which is the best thing ever) > random strangers > famous bloggers > "social networking gurus" > relatives.

I started following Rainn Wilson the other day.  His tweets are pretty funny.

[hillside_wrangler]

I have a mandatory two-year waiting period on any new social networking phenomena. Despite the fact that millions of people seem to be totally enamored with this technology, it just sort of reminds me of that shoulder-shaking dance from the '80s that lasted about 2 years and occasionally pops up when the office crowd hits a karaoke joint. No one will be TWITTERING in a year. A cultural backlash will ensue, bringing us back to the 1990s and filtering all communication through answering machines that also dispense crystal therapy and warn us that "man, Epitaph is kinda starting to suck".

I wish someone would bring back Crystal Pepsi and the commercial that had the Van Hagar song in it.

No one will be twittering when something like twitter, but a bit better comes along...

Oh, an eating twitter is a really good idea.

I'm just waiting for the day I break my vow of not twittering.
