Dvorak on Twitter

John C. Dvorak compares Twitter to CB radio.
My thinking is that Twitter could become the CB radio of this generation.
Ahem.

I rented Convoy thinking "What kind of gem could this Peckinpah film be?"

Boy was I disappointed.

Still waiting for your prediction of when it will peak:

Peak Twit?

Come on in, the water's fine.

Yes you said it first but then you aren't nearly the total douchebag that Dvorak is. I have a couple of teachers in my district pushing twitter (no, I am not kidding here) as a way to notify kids and parents of assignments etc.

Funny, but it is a miracle if a kid finishes the semester with the same phone number they started with. I would say a good 80% of the phone numbers I call are disconnected as the year rolls on. And you got people that want to have kids rely on Twitter? WTF.

I ain't gonna call John Dvorak a douchebag. He's my favorite tech reporter. But for some reason he was blinded by Twitter until just a few days ago.

Frankly, Dvorak is one of my favorites as well. However, that doesn't prevent me from saying that I really do think the guy is a totally self possessed pompous jerk. Kinda like the Lou Dobbs of the tech world. Except I can't stand the sight of Lou Dobbs.
