As soon as I posted that I rushed right over to twitter to announce that it had been posted. The whole social networking phenomenon has its uses, but I find it also a distraction that detracts from the warm fuzziness of friendly interactions with real people. In fact, instead of "twitter" I think they should call it "cyber-crack."

abandoning twitter is like abandoning the telephone in the last part of the 1800's. "i don't get the telephone, so i'm going back to smoke signals"

I think it's like abandoning Chevy in the 1970s...
