What I'm doing right now

6:35 p.m., San Francisco time: finishing a Twitter post. The free text-message broadcast service works as my back-up in case Blogger software has a major outage. Please join me there.

  1. At 37 I'm too old to give a hoot when somebody else takes a dump and wipes from left to right instead of up and down.

    I'll let the whippersnappers twitter. Otherwise it's just more noise and I have plenty of that already.

  2. Sounds like someone preparing to close a newspaper to me.

    You're only a journalist, why bother doing some basic research into what Twitter is and what it is actually used for before writing it off?

    Check out www.twitter.com/coloneltribune to see what good newspaper people do.

  3. Twitter is not a reasonable backup for a blog. In case yypu didn't notice you are only limited to 140 characters.

  4. 6:18: No wonder this industry is dying. You are exactly the type of dinosaur who can't look forward and listen to what the younger generation "or whippersnappers" (<---that seriously dates you) do, say or think.
