Let me level with you folks. I joined Twitter maybe a week ago and it's been rough going. That stuff is great for making fun of celebrities and being the "first" to know about viral videos, but as far as real-people go, it's horrible. Probably because none (1% ?) of the real people in my life are on it, so it's nowhere near as compelling/entertaining/wtf-ing as facebook. So this is me saying: are you on Twitter? Should I even bother?
The reason I think I should bother is because it's a big deal in my department. Twitter this, crowdsourcing that...honestly people, I think it's here to stay. If not in this version, then the next, but it's coming for us. If you're a heretofore anonymous reader and you follow me, I won't reveal your identity. And it won't be weird! Twitter isn't weird, right?!???
So what do you say? Surf into the future on the Twitter wave with me?

"jump the shark" means a show is past its prime. ex: the office jumped the shark when pam and jim got together. ex 2: american idol jumped the shark when paula left. it comes from an episode of happy days where fonzie literally jumped the shark on his motorcycle as part of a bet.
ohhhhhhh! i was seeing all this stuff about Apple having jumped the shark with the ipad. i guess that means the ipad isn't that cool after all?
basically. apple's past it's prime it seems with the ipad. the name alone! yikes.
UPDATE: i have one more follower now! his name is Thomas Konneker, longtime JOP contributor and roommate of yours truly! keep 'em coming!
