Brad talks about Twitter. It's nice having him back in the design office. "I slightly have to urinate. Twitter!"

Are these occurrences isolated? -- OR is the Twittering-out-loud the new thing?
Man, I hope not. Oh the static, oh the agony.

Twitter.
A few minutes ago I was wondering what the initial appeal was. Was it the right combination of simplicity, novelty, and popularity?
I can't help thinking it was something deeper; some urge I can't articulate yet; some acknowledgment that although the service as a whole gets it all wrong, maybe it did something right -- something that I want very badly.
That's what I'm looking for. When we share the smallest, seemingly unimportant parts of our life with others, especially if we feel that others care about that little bitty stuff, it makes us feel connected.
At least that does it for me, and I dig it.
Vimeo, Flickr, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Blogging.... All connection-enablers. At least that's what I'm in it for.
Complicated.
Also, wash that mouth out with soap, boy.

Hmm, kinda defeats the whole point. But I still use it in that pointless way... haven't quite figured out why yet.
