    Why is Keith Olbermann wearing a 70s era 3-piece suit?

    Once upon a long time ago, I ran something called a BBS, which allowed individual callers to use my home machine for fun and games. I don't know what that was about, but there were games, you could play them, and sometimes there was actual canned dialogue presented to the player! Like, they'd be in a chess match against the machine, and the chat would be, "Hey, good move."


    The problem, for me, came when the callers thought those insipid banalities were actually sent by me myself! I was thus considered by my loyal users a vapid bozo.


    Pretty soon I did something else with my time.

    No one actually lives their life 140 characters at a time.


    This is probably the most profound statement I've ever read on Gawker. And on a Friday no less...


    Well done.

    @smecktacular: But you begin to do no less, nor no more. You will actually think in those parameters, and adjust to them as you proceed through your day. I'm different now. Ever since I have begun this online business in 1987, my pattern is altered in discrete bytes, like how you adjust to a bass drum behind you, or a menstrual cycle working by your side. If you don't believe it, how come we don't act like the characters in classic movies? Because the scenes were too long for keyboarding thumbs, is why. Let's see you Twitter the `Hows' the hand, Rio?' scene from One-Eyed Jacks.

    We're all just waiting for a Twittering Elvis to show up.


    People want to believe they are part of a celebrity's life. It makes them feel more important. My mother used to call it "big moments in little lives."

    Wouldn't it be more interesting to live your life than to write about living your life?


    The answer, if you're wondering, is no.

    Why doesn't she just do her own social media, like Courtney Love. I'm sure it would be more entertaining...


    Come to think of it, maybe Britney herself was "the hacker" trying to genuinely communicate with her fans again.

    The real questions is what the hell is a "Social Media Director," and how much does it pay?

    @contradicto: I bet it's harder than it looks. She has to know when to misspell certain words, and when to improperly use their and they're. Also, just because Britney is on her fifth corndog, doesn't mean she should twitter, "I'm on my fifth corndog...this hour." It's a tough gig.
