So for anybody who’s lost out there, this recent story arc concerns the social network, Twitter.  If you’re familiar with twitter, you probably figured this out already.  If not, well, here’s what it’s all about.

Twitter is somewhere between blogging and instant messaging.  As they put it, it asks the question “what are you doing right now?”, which I opine to be one of the most boring questions ever.  “Uh, I’m sitting at a computer?  I’m…figuring out what I’m doing?  I’m…I’m wasting…time??”  These would be honest ‘Tweets‘.  As a friend of mine put it, it’s stalking in reverse.

Now, the funny thing about ‘tweeting’ is that somebody has to be ‘following’ you to get your message.  Thus the users tend to fall into two, well, three actually, categories.  First, you have the Followers.  These are people who basically just read other people’s tweets, never tweeting themselves.  Second, you have the Tweeters.  These are typically celebrity-class people, tweeting about important things they’re doing.

Then Thirdly, you have people who THINK they’re worthy of following, ever twittering into oblivion with nobody listening.  Cannon and I are two of these.

Enjoy our feeds!  Until we tweet again…
