“Every man’s fantasy becomes his worst nightmare.”

As I mentioned, I’ve been trying out the Twitter thing. Shockingly, embarrassingly, even, I…really like it. While I theoretically agree with everything ktempest has to say about the ephemeralness of the medium, I've been sucked in anyway, maybe because I associate with the sort of people that tend towards complete, witty sentences and constantly teeter ( Read more... )

You're right, I'm a jerkface for calling him that. Just couldn't think of a better way to establish context in such a teeny space.

I thought it was rather charming, actually.

Well, I don't know about anyone else but I find the Twitter recap entertaining/interesting, so sure, post away! And have fun at ReaderCon!

Oooh. Creepy. I begin to understand the twitter thing... although I'm not entirely sure I begin to get it, exactly.

Of course, it probably doesn't help that I went between this and a New Yorker article. (It appears that no one wants to write mid-length things).

Yours curious to see how tor.com eats up your time...

Joooinnn ussss.

Actually, I think the most undertouted benefit of twitter (especially when used by loquacious people like you and me) is that there is no better training ground for brevity. Economical sentences are useful even in New Yorker-sized articles. What are you writing about for the New Yorker, anyway? I'm so behind on everybody's everything.

I went between reading a New Yorker article and reading your twitters. _Reading_ It's a question of having got aclimatized, really.
