i've come to peace with twitter

ok i'm not hostile towards twitter any more. it still symbolizes two things to me

1. the death of writing. it's now a special pleasure to read something written by someone that is not in txt form. actually writing something legible has just become a very rare and important thing. i really think this is a shift change in our culture. just look at me! -- i don't even capitalize anything! everyone is affected -- once you start txting and twittering you lose a sort of formality with language (granted, this is possibly a good and bad thing)

2. the ease of blogging. we call it twittering or tweeting, but it's just blogging. i actually think that's kinda cool. if ppl want to maintain a website from their phone, then more power to them. of course it's just one more thing that adds to us being so busy and overwhelmed with technology all the time, but i think that learning from using computers is one of the most important skills in the world today, and using twitter can actually be productive, so i back it.
