Okay, it's a cute bird. But (see my Facebook post) I still don't quite get the appeal. Why would I want to be interrupted (via my smart phone, if I had one!) to find out the latest tweet about Jimmy Falon? Or even be up-to-the-minute with the news about the latest natural disaster? Or to be given the riveting update that my best friend has found a great deal on pork chops out at Costco?
Like the RSS feeds, this is toooooooo much "I-just-don't-care" information. Sure, we are living in the communication age; but I think with the explosion in the WAYS in which we communicate that we have lost the ability to discern the WHAT of which we communicate. We lump all this information together and can no longer distinguish between the rose and the stinkweed.
So, I am not likely to tweet anything. Alas!
