This and this are the saddest things I’ve read for such a long time.

Rifka asks what Twitter is. What a fantastic question!

There’s an official answer, but I just figure it’s somewhere between blogging and instant messaging. There are Twitter clients for a million platforms and mobile devices, and you can use them at any time to broadcast — in 140 characters or less — what you’re doing or thinking or feeling. And if anyone cares, they’ll get an SMS, or their Twitter client will pop up, or their RSS reader will get a new item, or whatever.

Can I call it “micro blogging”? Can I call it “targeted broadcast IM”? Is it a fad that’ll be forgotten next year? Is it the next big thing? Or is it just free and fun?

I am FoxBoom. Follow me.

Hey, Twitter actually makes a lot more sense when other people you know use it.

I joined Twitter. I don’t know why.
