I hate Twitter. I hope the Twitter "tl;dr" generation isn't expecting me to write a statistics textbook that consists entirely of blurbs of <140 characters, because I'm not doing it.
A-freaking-men. The trend towards sound bytes, tweets, and those ridiculous cut shots in movies and TV just serves to further shorten the attention span of a lot of people. Nothing wrong with some depth.
Twitter has some applications, such as what you're using it for.
The famous Kogi truck in LA uses Twitter to update people on its whereabouts.
You can get LAFD alerts, news, and other such good stuff on Twitter as well.
I use it to promote Seal Beach Animal Care Center by posting pictures of adoptable animals and notifying my followers when we have a bake sale or other fundraiser.
I don't really disagree with you on most of your points, and I do tweet about pointless shit sometimes, but I wouldn't UNINVENT Twitter. It definitely has its uses.
LOL - Can you at least add an avatar to your Twitter account?? I will enjoy reading your updates even if you hate Twitter! - I started reading your journal when you went to Spring Mountain Motorsports a few years back (I'm affiliated with them - glad you had a great time! You should go back!) and continued reading because I enjoy your style of writing and all your poker adventures!
