Well Worn In

I tweet. Most of my friends don’t. It’s even safe to say that most of the people I’m surrounded with don’t understand twitter, they’re confused about what it really is.

I’ve always been at a loss trying to describe twitter. “You’ve just got to try it, man.” But I think I delivered a pretty accurate description tonight:

These days, if I send you a text, you’re obligated to return the text. That’s accept. Twitter is like sending an open ended text to your friends, with no expectation or hope of receiving reply. It can be replied to directly via twitter, brought up in conversation, or simply never even acknowledged.
