    The Twitterati Go For "Dong"

    If you have no idea what people on Twitter are talking about, fear not. They have no idea what they're talking about, either. The latest mutterings from Chris Anderson, John Byrne, and other online twits:

    Conservative punditrix Michelle Malkin nourished her spawn.

    BusinessWeek.com editor John Byrne, whose importance should be evident from his ALL-CAPS username, exposed the inner workings of the world's most boring business magazine.

    Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson opted for "dong."

    Journalism-school dropout Reed Kavner learned there's no such thing as a cheap lunch.

    Chicago Tribune reporter Wailin Wong corrected bloggers.
