The reason for Twitter
Jun 4, 11:00 AM by HM Copywriter
When everyone working adults discover Twitter, their initial reaction is invariably, “What’s the point?” Which is the set up to any number of wry and/or rude remarks. But no longer.
It’s now clear that Twitter exists to generate always brief, sometimes glib and occasionally profound remarks. That infinite quantity of pith is screened (not unlike a baleen whale) and converted into… tee shirts
It seems to me that this is proof of the “infinite monkeys” theory. Stand on the beach long enough and eventually, something more substantial washes ashore. So instead of the minutia of your life being lost in the impermanent ether, it can be silkscreened onto a tee shirt, worn for a weekend and then tossed in the back of the closet.
A parting thought from Conan O’Brien, “Conan O’Brien:
“In the year 3000, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook will merge to become one mega social networking site called YouTwitFace.”
