Kate: I think something's wrong, Daddy... Danae hasn't tweeted in over an hour. Joe: Umm... ok... so? Kate: So... her followers are frantic! They're saying she's never gone so long without tweeting, which they think can only mean she's lost in the woods and dying of tweet starvation. Joe: Or, she could be taking a nap. Kate: Hmm... I suppose both are equally plausible. Danae: I'm sensing a disturbance in the Force. Lucy: That's just your stomach rumbling.

…as if millions of tweets suddenly cried out in terror and fear in the silence… or something like that

If you tweet, does that mean you’re a twit ?

Poor sots. They don’t understand like Danae does. If the tweets do not commence the fabric of universe will tear causing the entire space and time continuum to collapse upon it self resulting in………….the end of the world!!!!!Or at the least a few followers of Danae will drift off to circle someone else’s little universe.

Sorry, I must be old fashioned (I’m 65), but I just don’t understand why anyone would bother to use Twitter. Who CARES whether you enjoyed your morning latte with whomever and that you’re going to have lunch with so-and-so. Get a life – have a conversation with someone face to face!
I hope Danae’s time in the woods might lead her to listening to and enjoying nature, just as her horse is doing.
There are more important things to do and enjoy in life than spending minutes or hours on a daily basis staring at your “smart” phone, exercising your thumbs about things that are so inconsequential that they’re ridiculous.
That’s my “harumph” and “bah humbug” message of the day and I’m sticking to it!
Cheers from Ashland, Orygun.

I like Facebook….I can rant and rave on that….Why would I need Twitter? I’ve only “friended” my real life friends, though….

Well said. I think Jeffrey was right about social media merely being a way to keep all the popular folks inside and glued to their social networks just to prop up their wet toilet paper-fragile egos. “The geek shall inherit the earth” indeed.

Speaking of Twitter, my brother and I have decided that we’d like for anyone who has ever intentionally released a computer virus onto the unsuspecting public to have ALL of their electronic devices forced to receive 24/7 tweets from 11 year old girls/fans of Justin Bieber. Guess what happened to my computer this week?
