I don't know about some people, but Twitter, the social media platform that I used to think was "Facebook without the Faces...or the books, for that matter" is just suited for my mind. In my schoolyard days, I would make quips and one-liners that would merely evaporate into the ether, never to be heard again. Then as time went on, writing for the satirical school magazines, I'd make up headlines without copy to go underneath - why should I? The headline was amusing enough, why sully it with even more words? If the joke delivers itself a laugh, why keep going and risk falling flat by adding more bullshit to it?
Trending topics like "failed TV pilots" allow for people to flex their creative muscle in a discrete format. I enjoy seeing some of the wonderful creations people come up with. Even better when others give me a "ReTweet" for something I've contributed.
Sure, some people (read: Elyse) think I'm a complete wanker, but for "media professionals" such as myself ("yeah, you're still retarded though" I can hear her say) that have something to say, no matter how condensed, it can be a very useful tool to connect to other people with. Doesn't that make you feel all special?
In actual news: I'm going to review about a million discs this month and I have an interview with Amorphis in the can. Sounds like...fun

i was a bit wary of twitter, but i've grown to like it a bit over the past few weeks. i find myself updating it a lot more than any facebook update but annoying people less because that's the whole point of it. win/win.
