Mindless, meaningless, nothingness, nothingness

I hear people talking about Twitter. I do not understand what it is. I distrust it inherently. Despite not knowing what it is. And despite - presumably - the ease with which I could find out what it is by typing "Twitter" into google I have apparently instead chosen to retain my ignorance.

However, thanks to the unutterably marvellous Lore Sjöberg I now know what Twitter is and I feel completely justified in maintaining my irrationally-adopted distrust. For, well, pretty much all the reasons he says, really. Except he said them better than I would have done.

Only twitter I'm watching is that of 'Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Hero'. Bit-part character in Phil Foglio's Girl Genius comics, he has a daily twitter. It's fun, because it's fictional, and since the Foglios are used to writing for comics, each day's snippet is like one panel of a strip. It works for me.

I have no interest in any other form of twittering.

Hurrah. That there are people who can take something quite inane and go something clever and creative with it gives me hope for the world as a whole :)
