Never thought I'd miss Twitter. Be a lot more efficient around here if people kept their PSAs to 140 characters or less.

[text] never thought i'd ever get to icly have him ask this...

[yardbird]

What's a Twitter?

[text]

[dirtyword]

something about birds????

[text]

[sugarbear]

It's a social networking site. Nice and efficient, lessening actual interaction to the absolute bare minimum.

[rickon]

yes the star boat is full of bird people

[dirtyword]

Twitter?

[sugarbear]

I'm guessing that's going to be the most asked question around here, huh?

[voice]

[falsehoods]

I know not what a "Twitter" is...I shall assume it has naught to do with actual birds and more to do with your technology.

[voice]

[sugarbear]

It's got a little bird logo on it or something. Could be.

[onsilksheets]

Unless they're the type to tweet every two minutes with inane details about their day.

[sugarbear]

Better than six hundred words whining about their day.

[cons]

twitter is actually one of the things I don't miss about life before this hellhole. I do not need to hear about how Stacy got a bad haircut, or how Jimmy thinks movie tickets are too damn expensive. cause that's all you get on that site. as opposed to this thing, where I can rant for as long as I want about how dumb twitter was.

[sugarbear]

Everyone around here has a lousy haircut on account of there not being any hairdressers in space. Way too many characters, by the way.

[amethysts]

You're all prehistoric on this weird-butt boat.

[sugarbear]

I'm not sure what history you're reading, sweetheart, but we wrote the book on it.

[text]

[jurisimpudent]

Of course. Because what we need around here is more glib thoughtlessness.

[text]

[sugarbear]

I'm not exactly suggesting making up for the character limit with an excess of posting.

[intersection]

When did you start using twitter?

voice

[sugarbear]

I never said I used Twitter, I said I missed it. It beats listening to hours of you arguing with Morgan about sandwiches.

[ neal could get on his hipster high horse and rant about twitter ruining everything ever oh god why.

or he could troll. ]

tl;dr.

[sugarbear]

Haha. It take you all day to come up with that one?

[cheerioless]

i never understood twitter's appeal.

[sugarbear]

Assimilate or die tends to be the basic gist of it, otherwise you might be told to 'get with the times, granddad'.

They were saying that in the eighties, incidentally.

[logicals]

Not to mention easier to ignore.
SH

[sugarbear]

Much. Aren't there two 'h's in 'shh'?

[meddler]

But that would make it incredibly difficult for anyone to say anything, now wouldn't it? [ pause ] You might as well tell people to just communicate with their eyebrows...

[ not that there wasn't already a planet that did just that... ]

[sugarbear]

That sounds like a wonderful idea. When you communicate silently, nobody can hear you scream.

[altercate]

There are better things to complain about.

[sugarbear]

The complaining is the problem.

[dilemma]

Never thought I'd say this but the intelligence level? Actually higher on here.

It's the little things.

[sugarbear]

Nothing as low brow as a condolence written in text speak, is there? Except maybe one written by a celebrity.
