This feature could be so much more entertaining if you selected tweets that were actually funny or interesting, instead of ones designed to showcase how boring and lame Twitter is. Diablo Cody's Twitter is occasionally amusing, for example. But I guess that might encourage people to stray from Gawker and explore other forms of frivolous procrastination. Tough call.
Hell, I'd sign up for twitter if they gave me painkillers, two CDs, and a martini. Except i don't like martinis. I always wanted to be the kind of person who like martinis, only it turns out i can't stand gin. It tastes too much like Pinesol.
I think this 'follow the creepy journo Twatterati' thing is now officially DEAD. Owen, as you lectured me in a recent email, 'nobody cares'. Maybe you're right, but...
Your talent and journalistic verve is being WASTED on this. There are things happening out in the world, rights to be wronged, etc. Oh, and right below 'cockroaches' & 'smegma' we have these forgettable twats. They don't even warrant the old Valleywag snark let alone space on the page.

No, because you read Twitter so that I don't have to. Thanks!

Possibly it helps that this is my only exposure to The 140-Character-Based Website That Dare Not Speak Its Name.

When I blew into my twitter-phone, the feedback squeal nearly deafened me.
I probably won't be trying that again anytime soon.
