I'm sure that's what she means, britney, although proper spelling is just such a bore for these Twitterverse people. I'm torn here: one part of me hopes she finished the story and lives to discover her mistake, the other that she has to put her threat in practice...
@disreputable: Japanese --> English transliteration can be difficult, so I think a misspelling is forgivable. My peeve, is that every time this act is referenced in the west, it is spelled and pronounced: Harikari (like the late Chicago Cubs announcer)
I had my first tweet dis today. Some asshole cold-called me from a number that is quite similar to that of one of my clients. So I picked up even though I was on my way out the door. He tried to sell me something related to something we don't do. So I said, "Sorry, we don't do that. Gotta go." Minutes later he sends a long finger wagging email to the Contact Us email on our website. THEN he tweets "Lizawithazee from Broadway: 'we don't do this thing I sell that obviously she is stupid to do even though they are not even in that business.' Really?"
I'm sure you get what I mean. But anyway, I am pissed.
I believe that this feature would be more fun if it felt like shout-outs in a CD jacket--I think a few slow people still buy CDs--and less like gawker-stalker for entities generally less attractive and/or washed up than the celeb crowd.
I always confuse Susan Orlean with Janet Fitch because I was once in a bakery in LA and someone pointed out Janet Fitch who was in the store and she was very nice talking to everyone and stuff and things but you see the problem is her book is "White Orleander" and Susan Orlean's big book was the The Orchid Thief...do you see what is happening here! So anytime I hear of Susan Orlean I actually picture Janet Fitch in the bakery. That was more than 140 characters wasn't it?
