Technomancy

[laliandra]

Recently several very different people have expressed Great Shock and something close to outrage at the fact that I do not have a twitter account.

Technically I do. I just wanted to make sure no one stole my name, and then ignored it.

SO. People of the internet. What is so good about this fancy 140 character phenomenon? Alternatively, is there any evidence that twitter is, in fact, the devil (oh ontd_ai , will I never tire of your in-jokes)?

I am ready to be swayed either way!

PS. Has anyone else noticed that the chorus of this

which is the theme from Andrew Lloyd Webber's catastrophe new musical Love Never Dies

is EXACTLY the as the chorus to this -

from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical The Beautiful Game.

I am annoyed and wish to share this with the internet.

Man, maybe I should get twitter.

Lal, get twitter.

I know that like me, you are a fan of procrastination, and mild stalking, and twitter enables these hobbies like nothing else. It's brilliant! I use mine mainly to... well, to bitch and moan about things recently, but whatever. At least it means I don't update my facebook status nearly so much. Plus, twitter is excellent for breaking news or for passing round links to others internet things.

So yeah. Go, Twitter!

Argument in favour of twitter: the possibility of stalking Johnny Weir! :D

That is seriously one of the best arguments for twitter that I have ever heard. Really.

And I do like links to things. Hmmm.

Also HI JOHNNY HI, my glittery darling.
