Why does Twitter exist?

I am not interested in the unedited minutiae of people's lives. And even if I were, I would talk to them. You know, say something like, "Hello, how are you, what appallingly insignificant thing did you do today?"

Are we actually trying to obviate the necessity for all human interaction and thought? Are we aiming for a society that communicates only by electronic inanities? Are we so obsessed with documenting everything we do that we will soon cease to do anything?

Well, fie! I refuse. I will continue to write, and to think, and to speak, and to hell with the lot of you.

I was going to thank you profusely for this post... but then I saw the pink theme and AAAAAA MY EYES

At least I'll have a good excuse never to read Twitter ;-)

In British-English to be described as "twittering on" about something is an insult. Suffice to say, Twitter is for twits. See definition 3 of the word twit.
