Twitter Mania

News Flash: Twitter mania has officially penetrated Cornell University. Gannett urges everyone to be cautious at this time as the risk for the spread of Twitter mania continues to grow. Symptoms to look out for include: a sudden urge to summarize everything in your life in 140 characters or less, sudden ability to "Follow" by clicking a single button, and knowing the minute details of multiple strangers lives by checking one main screen. If you believe that you are currently suffering from Twitter mania or know of someone who suffers from the symptoms described above please stay indoors to prevent the spread of this disease.

Too late! Everyone I know has a Twitter account now. I don't know what it is about this thing but I have yet to get sucked in by the evil force that is Twitter. I am not a Tweeter (at least not yet) and I won't be until I have something to tweet about (but I do know that the past tense of "Tweet" is "Tweeted" not "Twat" as I've heard some people say). Some of my friends are writers for the school newspaper and sports blogs and such so they have legitimate reasons for creating a Twitter account. I however don't have one. I don't think the world wants to know about my constant issues with the rest of society (and if people are interested then that's what this blog is for).
So the Twitter bug has passed me by for now but I have a feeling that it isn't done with me yet.

Stay tuned for updates on this News Flash and more.

UPDATE: While taking a survey for a Cornell class this question popped up
and then there was this one
If anyone is spending at least 3 hours on Twitter, what the hell are you doing on there?! Please I want to know!
