Yogurt is great on cereal--especiall...Hey Derek, <br /><br />Yogurt is great on cereal--especially the Greek kind of yogurt. I like to add a little honey and fresh blueberries, too.<br /><br />I don't know about the electronic age, and the social networking thing. I see what Arnold is saying, but then I check facebook and see another side of it--like, how a friend uses it to encourage his college age kids and joke with his wife during the day about her adopting an abandoned kitten that morning and putting its picture on facebook without him knowing about it yet (this couple is so serious at church and it's really great seeing them have fun).<br /><br />As for the amount of detail and needing a life, I think it would depend on the kind of relationship a tweeter has with his followers. If they are intimate or somewhat emotionally involved, sometimes the most mundane information can be interesting. If they are not, then, the fact that this tweeter likes Trader Joes and the follower does too can create a superficial feeling of closeness. <br /><br />As for me, I can imagine calling up a good friend and asking her, first thing, what she's up to. If she responds that she's on her back patio with her dogs drinking lemonade, I can picture her doing that because I've been there with her doing that very thing a few days ago. And then we launch into whatever we need to talk about over the phone, most often on a much deeper level. <br /><br />The problem with tweeter, is that it stays on that small talk level.<br />It's too confined in the broader spectrum of communication and connecting deeply with people. If I tweeted, I wouldn't use it like I commonly see it tweeted. Perhaps, like all fads, everyone will eventually lose interest.Altheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905812375181816788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034537378568183297.post-24338532427406386562009-06-09T20:57:13.333-04:002009-06-09T20:57:13.333-04:00i do view the 'age' as a bit narcissistic,...i do view the 'age' as a bit narcissistic, however the content is permission based, making the reader of content ultimately in control...making it a phenomenon that someone wants to know your cereal type rather than someone wanting to tell of their cereal type. <br /><br />Also Narcissus had little control over his reflection, modern man has extreme customization power of his online image, creating an all new story of self absorption.Royhttp://www.roykeely.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034537378568183297.post-80263060068965926232009-06-09T17:13:38.611-04:002009-06-09T17:13:38.611-04:00Arnold,
