It's just that some of the people (present company excepted) who have sent me Twitter invites are the kind of people who put photos of their breakfast on Flickr every day from their mobile phone... and I kind of want to scream GET A LIFE at them... Anyway I'm thinking of starting a service called Schwitter which will email you a different piece of Dadaist or found art every day.

I just thought it was going to add all my addresses to my contact list or something, in case anyone I know joined in the future. I was a bit shocked when mails came bouncing back to me like ricochets in a pill-box. Anyway, twitter isn't any more insane than anything else. It's just like blogging but a lot littler. If you have something long to say you blog, if you have something short to say you put it in the 'briefly' category, if you have nothing to say you twitter. It reminds me of what I liked about Facebook. The gentle babble of voices in the distance that you hear when you're camping. Soothing, reassuring, reminding us that we're not alone.
