    First one to send me a book with his/her tweet farts gets a bullet between the eyes...

    Kidding, you'll get a golf ball (NRA took my gun, said I was "unstable"...)

    You're kidding yourself if you think most people can be interesting for more than 140 characters at a time.

    I need to buy couple of all-blank ones and start a new meme: analog twitter. You write your tweets longhand in a book and pass it around at a party.

    Who knows, maybe it'll revive the SWAK phenomenon.

    Wouldn't it be great if there were a way to distribute these messages to anyone who wanted to read them? And do it for free?

    Oh, right.

    In reply to Twitter-Phobic Martha Stewart Fears Wrath of Snoop Dogg
    Has Snoop ever gotten around to following Martha?

    When she first joined Twitter, she was asking her followers to call her radio show, so I called and asked her on air how she felt about Snoop not returning her follow. Her reply was something about him being busy and she may have hinted that he didn't write his own tweets.

    If I remember correctly she also promised me a Follow Friday shout-out, which never materialized. Which puts me and Alexis in the special club of people psychologically damaged by Martha Stewart's empty promises.

    Is Nick Douglas looking somewhat more attractive in that above photo? I must say, print media money looks good on you. If only it had the same effect for Malcolm Gladwell.

    @DeltaGuy: No wonder, that's a photo from 2006. The Gladwell Uglification Principle holds, and will likely be the subject of his next book.

    The irony is that Nick's book made a lot of publishers my agent contacted take a "wait and see" attitude. Even though I'm doing something completely different. So in that sense, I wish Nick's book much, much success.

    Most twits don't bother to read tweets except lovingly re-reading their own. What makes these nit-wits think twits are going to buy and read a book of tweets?
