Shaq just tweeted a picture of Van Gundy's and Dwight Howard's love child. Someone should post it, it's pretty funny.

Good article Zach.

Unfortunately, I got kinda kicked off my habit of tweeting. At the moment, I can't decide if it was the worst thing or the best thing that happened. Less info, but less informed. Ah, the pros and cons.

That said, I agree with you and the others re Google Wave. It's different than twitter and I personally think it's going to be a big hit and change things. But it could be vaporware and I could eat massive crow later. Only time will tell.

I'm an internet whore and I don't give a shit about Twitter.

That's because you are socially handicapped... social media doesn't work for social misfits. Especially when you go off on your gay tangents...

I was going to say that liking twitter would require someone to be his friend and actually want to follow him, but I refuse to give that stupid **** a moment of my time so I'm now telling you instead.

I agree. That was well said.

How long before we're all living alone in giant houses, afraid to go outside or have human contact, like the people in Isaac Asimov's "The Naked Sun"?

I actually agree with this. And I use all these services.

The problem is I don't know how we can help reverse the trend.

I doubt we can. People would have to want to first. Maybe once the internet monster gains life and we have to kill it before it kills us, then we have to go back to "the good ol days" it will happen.

I don't deny the fact that I have become more of a hermit as the internet has progressed. But I like it that way. If I didn't, I'd get out more.

Exhibit Z81. Going to my facebook page and saying "**** You"

and all of the other idiotic things you do online...

You can't help that you are socially handicapped... if you weren't you would have been laid long ago.

Don't hate on me, I'm just a spewer of truth.
