Twitter Posts As Comedy - Makes You Go Hmmm.
Ok. So since I just found out what happens when you drop a media player in the jacuzzi, I'm not sure I'm competent to judge others. Therefore I won't suggest that what follows is an indicator of the vast intellectual wasteland that is Twitter, and I won't identify the people who sent the following stuff. I really won't tell you that the brains of the world are becoming stupider and stupider. Simply things that make you go Hmmmm.
Now that I've not said those things, several nuggets that came through Twitter today.
Here's a direct message (DM) I got. Verbatim,but I warn you it's touching:
HI, thanks for following me. I hope you find my information useful. {RandomName} {RandomLink} {RandomNumber}
.But here's a better one. It was tagged with the #custserv tag (that's customer service)
@dodadopp: "Read The iThinK Twice Daily ? @KateNasser"
To which I replied: Too funny. Me, I try to think ALL day. #custserv
Bonus offering:
Tony Bingham who was or is or might have been the head of the ASTD, and is co-author of a book on social learning and elearning or somesuch thing has about 607 followers. Over one third of his followers are inactive.
What's it mean? Don't ask me. I'm still wondering whether my media player will dry out.
Remember, folks, to quote Bob Dylan
Don't Think Twice It's Alright, but maybe you should think thrice, or even more daily.
Over and out.
