@ wit's end?

merlin:

Just tossing this out, gang.

As a pilot program? Try not reading Twitter @ responses from people you don’t follow.

Just try it.

I’d never ask people on the bus if they liked what I just said. And, if I did, I’d never be surprised when they respond with half-literate grunts and a demand to know who the hell “Renny Dess-carts” is.

Noise, poop, and wanky little bags of sad don’t deserve a place in your awesome head.

Pilot program.

Of course no one outside one’s inner circle could have anything of value to contribute to a discussion, eh? That’s sad, really. Yes, there’s a fair amount of rabble and robot @ replies out there, but there’s also some thoughtful responses and alternative perspectives being shared.

If one can’t be bothered to read replies (not even necessarily engaging with those other users), what’s the point of having a public Twitter stream?

Might as well go “private” and keep to your sandbox…

President Obama continues a long tradition of planting a tree at the White House. This tree is replacing one planted by George W. Bush which, reportedly, “didn’t take”.
Or maybe they just shouldn’t have let Cheney spit there.
