Oh, the internet.

My rabbi apparently twitters at http://twitter.com/ridingrav, and intends to start twittering a daily mishnah tweet next week.

(He also apparently blogs about pipes at http://www.pipepulpit.blogspot.com/.)

This also seems like the appropriate time to share this video, "Twouble with Twitters", from the animated show SuperNews. ("I just twoted all over the place!" "Don't you twitterstand?")

"It seems like twittering is just randomly bragging about your unexceptional life."
"Now you're getting it!"

If only this didn't seem so painfully true.

A few of my friends have started using that tool that ports tweets to LJ (in bulk, thank whatever various deities are appropriate to the reader), and there is a very clear divide between "People who are sharing thoughts that might have been part of a larger LJ post" and "People who occasionally tweet random shit that they'll repeat more informatively in a later post, then spend the day @replying to other people's silly posts and inane queries." Twoted all over the place indeed.
