you are not a twit, you are a tweeter :P

TWiT is btw a most excellent podcast and it is not related to twitter.

I demand my right to be called a Twit be recognised!!!

I'll look up TWIT too! ;)

How about being called a TWAT?

lol, I suppose it depends on your perspective...

Coming from friends I don't mind one bit.

[this is good]

OMG "you talk about yourself a lot".

Um, the primary box we fill in on Twitter asks us "What are you doing"? And then it announces that you talk in the present tense about your social behaviors? This is not exactly psychoanalysis at its best! LOL

It was rather perfunctory I'll admit, but I did like the fact it picked out that I was positive and talked about cognitive processes a lot.

Makes me feel better about myself..lol

Actually it is rather concise considering that it can simply tally up specific responses. I often ponder which blogs have a positive vibe - yours certainly does. Social media is a hot new field in social sciences because so many people have traded human interaction for online ones. (I know I have...somewhat).

Why thank you Ellie, it's always nice to get positive feedback, although I don't really know how I'm sending out these positive vibes, especially when I'm posting blogs about idiot fanatics.

I can understand the need to trade real life human interaction for an online presence, I used to be out every night socialising but got tired of the scene, even though I need human contact. So I only go out a couple of times nowadays, the rest is spent on here.

Can our attention span get any shorter? Can there be any more meaningless statistics? Sorry, King. You know I love you long time baby, but there has got to be more to life. XXXXX
