Twatter



I succumbed and got one now. It's useful for funny little aphorisms or short bursts of whatever. If you wish, feel free to follow me. I won't bite. ;)

Honestly, compared to other social networking sites, I used to think that Facebook was superior to this, but lately Facebook's been pretty terrible about their privacy policy. At least Twitter doesn't pretend to keep your stuff private; just recently, all Tweets will eventually be archived by the Library of Congress. Aside from PMs, all tweets are public for everyone (or your followers) to read, so there's no point in being too secretive with it. Either use a psuedonym, or don't use it at all. It's just that simple.

Next week, I'll weigh in on the pros and cons of historical revisionism.
