A List of Tweets
I know that few if any of yous take advantage of this wonderful little time-killing service known as Twitter. So, as anything but a sales pitch, here are a few of my favourite tweets...

Although the Michael Ian Black comment is funny. I have no idea why this twitter fad is so appealing to everyone. Of course, I'm on the fringe because facebook and myspace do not impress me either. It just seems like some ultra obnoxious teenage girl behaviour. Also, it has come to attention that all of this so called social networking is nothing more than pure self agrandizing narcissim. Look at ME and MY pictures. "Here I am am in Dominican Republic don't I look good in my bikini?" "Here I am lauging at a bar with friends look how social and important I am. " These twitter comments are just a bunch of boring posts of mundane things that people do on a daily basis. Why do people feel that there life is so important and every little detail needs to be publicized and advertised.
Sorry if this comment comes across as mean or nasty but I just don't get what the draw is or where the fun in this activity is. Some one please explain what the big deal is?

Since you seem cool with the concept of blogging: if all of my blog posts were less than 140 characters - would you still read it? Because that is essentially Twitter, except Twitter has the added functionality to allow you to view and comment on a large number of "blogs" at once. It is essentially an interactive blogging tool.
Facebooks are blogs/webpages for those who don't have the motivation to go the blog route, and are much more interactive. Myspace I agree is silly, unless you have a band - in which case it is an excellent way to share your music.
I think you are mostly upset with the manner in which these tools are being used, and not with the tools themselves. I'm sure you could have a blog (I know you have the material saved somewhere), or a Twitter, or a Facebook page that you could use in a way that would align better with your value system. You can control who you talk to, who can talk to you, who can see your words/pics/links. Hell, I know you have a StumbleUpon account that you use to fwd links to all of us. If you posted these same links to say, Twitter, we could all discuss them...
Anyway.
Fair enough, but let's be honest I have no value system. Also, I am much too lazy to do a blog. Nor do I think that I could provide witty little comments on a day in day out basis to keep things interesting.
Also I think your missing the point the reason I prefer to your read your blog is not about the tool itself. It's the fact that aside for the many cat related entries it is interesting to read but this is more attributed to your writing style rather than anything else. I would prefer to peruse your readings in a magazine format preferably one that does not allow feline related articles. In answer to your question I would probably not like your blog if it was limited to 140 charecters because forced reduction typically leads to lack of substance. TRhe main reason people are so uninforamed in today's world to begin with no one ever digs deep to get proper acurate information. Which brings up another point: although it was not acknowledged by you I think you must admit most comments have no substance and can be obnixious. For the record I have a much better understanding of what these tools are but still do not see what is so fun and exciting about "tweeting" back and forth. It really says something about our society and how disconected we are becoming from the real world around us. ( i.e. people want to think and create a perfect respone instead of just saying what is on their mind.) Where as I in normal discourse prefer to throw caution to the wind and pick up a telephone to have a conversation. At the end of the day it's very ironic that I have taken the time to make my point by commenting on the blog instead of telling you in person. Which is exactly what I'm ranting about in the first place. Also this topic has already become tired and boresome and all the time I have spent writing this response was wasted because this message will be read by very few people who don't give a shit anyway.
All this being said, please continue to Tweet, facebook, and blog. I'm excitied to see what the new hot trend in social networking will be, perhaps fartbook, where people can record their farts, or pictures of them farting, post them to a site and have cute little comments and conversations about how interesting their farts are.
Anyways..
I've said my peace and wish to no longer discuss this topic.
P.S. Retorts are welcomed but will not necessarily be replied to.

Since you already acknowledged the irony of the situation, I have nothing further to add.
See you this weekend. Bitch.
I completely agree with you Ryan. I tease Aaron about his "tweets" all the time. I don't get it either.
If there was a fartblog he would definitely do it. And sadly, we'd probably read it.
