Twitter – Thesauritically Acclaimed
May 19th, 2008 | by Mitchell Allen |
On Twitter, I am Anklebuster
Beneath twitter, my thesaurus mentions agitation, cry, music, emotion and excitement.
Unbelievably, I experienced all of these in the space of one hour, today.
Presented out of context, Twitter-style, I submit these random thoughts:
agitation
How do I link to my twitter? What is this /statuses/ thing?
Let me check some tweets.
cry
I laughed so hard …

She wants help understanding it. *
music
O-ho! It’s the posting time. Now I can submit my contest entry.

emotion
Social networking is so fulfilling.
I must thank Jessica.
excitement
I got an email from Jessica!
Something about a Twitter Writing Contest
Jack lay mortally wounded beside a horribly dented galvanized pail. He moaned, “I won’t be watering that beanstalk, after all.” Jill wailed.
* Since Caroline Middlebrook isn’t following me on Twitter, I can only answer her here on my blog:Obviously, Joe Sayers is an Existentialist!!!

I love your thesauritical wit! It provides new meaning to the word Twitter for me!
P.S. I think the comic is terribly funny if a little sarcastic
Thanks for explaining what existentialism is.

I’m glad you enjoyed my silliness.
Twitter is one of those geeky (to me) gadgets that I like to pick up and play with, occasionally.
Sometimes, I feel motivated to dive in.
As with anything else, though, I think you’d have to totally immerse yourself in the culture and commit to making it work for you.
I may yet dabble more deeply in tweet theory.
Cheers,
Mitch
