Twitter limits you to 140 characters per posting. You see the postings of people in your social network. The limit encourages frequent postings of small significance. Twitter thus sounds dumb. In fact, Twitter is about the intimacy of details. Through it I see small events in the lives of friends about whom I otherwise might only learn the Big Events when we "catch up" after long intervals.

Another major step toward complete superficiality. Congratulations.

Dear Ms. Amanda,
Is po-mo your bag, or are you merely being...fractalinear? No offense intended. I am just saying.

I'm stumped by twitter's existence. It has a huge amount of buzz, but I find it terrifically boring. Am I already too old for the Internet, or is the buzz machine playing a grand joke?
