You Son of a Bitch.

s0u1man: hey, what's your twitter account again?

slightlyseven: jaykarr. i don't really use it.

s0u1man: oh man, that was totally a test! and you so completely failed! I had high hopes for you, my friend.

slightlyseven: always unfounded. i just can't get into it.

s0u1man: i hear you, i'm chained to a computer enough as it is.

slightlyseven: it just feels like more work to me. i guess i don't understand the benefit.

s0u1man:you don't? everyone gets to know what you're doing. right.... now.

slightlyseven: i'm not that special or cool.

s0u1man: and now!

s0u1man: now!

s0u1man: NOW!

slightlyseven: i'm still working on a blog. i'll get to tweeting in a few years.

s0u1man: by then, microblogging will have moved on. oh man, i just had the best idea of my life. what's the next step below micro? whateverthatisblogging..... we'll set up a site where you log in and just constantly change your status to a new, 1-word descriptor..... "eating" "coffee" "train" "sleepy." we can really cut to the chase that way. 140 characters is clearly too much work

s0u1man:nanoblogging? does that work?

slightlyseven: actually, the problem will become this: at some point, it becomes so granular the only thing you have to update is on the act of updating. so my twitter entry will be "updating my twitter entry" and i won't have time for anything else. it'll be insane once my twitter account reflects my action of updating my facebook state.

s0u1man: ha! i'm seriously going to set this up... you know, in my free time

slightlyseven:"free time"

s0u1man:and one of the default options available will be "twittering." ha!

slightlyseven: i'll follow you. and get a text message every time.

s0u1man: i think i've found my next blog topic

slightlyseven: yeah, i already had that idea first

s0u1man: bullshit

slightlyseven: no, seriously

s0u1man: well i called dibs

slightlyseven: i'm way ahead of you

s0u1man: we'll see who can code it first, i guess

slightlyseven: i'm twittering right now about how i'm going to blog about it

s0u1man: you son of a bitch.
