    Twitter users are a sorry bunch. Especially the media! Errata, excuses, and eye-rolling from today's tweets:



    "I'm a PC" Apple spokesvillain John Hodgman couldn't decide which brand of speaker wire to buy.

    Former Star editor Bonnie Fuller was sorry she wasn't single while hitting the slopes.

    AP reporter Phil Elliott wished he'd paid more attention to Tennyson in college.

    Wired editor Chris Anderson was mad at himself for hiring the bunch of smartasses who ran a chart just to mock his "Long Tail" theory.

    CNET News's Caroline McCarthy wished she hadn't said anything at all.

    Anyone else's tweets we should keep an eye on? Send us their username.
