TO TWEET OR NOT TO TWEET


I’m constantly appalled at seeing and hearing presumably intelligent, thinking adults telling us to read their Tweets, and Tweet them back. BIRDS tweet, which leads me to wonder, are we becoming a society of Bird Brains?

That isn’t to say that twittering birds aren’t probably communicating things of interest to other birds. They might even be issuing important warnings. “Look out guys! Eagle at 2 o’clock!

But people? Is it true this is meant to keep –how many? everyone? informed, albeit it in short Tweets* (or is it “Twitters”) of one’s every move every moment of every day? Who has time to do this? Who has time to “Follow your Twitter?” Who would be insane enough to encourage even one’s dearest friend’s constant intrusions?

No, I really just can’t take “Tweeting” people seriously. Please, just phone, e-mail, or better yet, send a letter and keep the post office running.

*I even resent the capital letters
