Dept. of Inevitability: Twitter

By Dan O'Connor May 17th, 2007

And so, as the steamroller of fate rolls ineluctably towards the one-legged dog of destiny, I find myself blogging about Twitter.

Are you, like Labour Deputy Leadership hopeful, Alan Johnson MP, a member of the Twittering classes? Or are you, like me, much more entertained by childish typos like this one?

What am I doing right now? Blogging about Twitter. Do I have much to say about it? No. Shall I twitter about that? Or am I already blogging about it? Does that merit a tweet? The self-referential possibilities are endless.

Unlike this post.

    I was tempted to twitter that I was twittering about a blog about twitter, but I thought that was a bit too Web 1.97 (the Tesco version of Web 2.0, apparently)

    Yeah. If I told my father that I was blogging about twitter, you know he’d probably just put the phone down on me.

    Actually, Ade — Web 2.0 is only accurate to 1 decimal place - so there are lots of Web 2.0s out there:

    Tesco: Web 1.97
    1993 Pentium Chip: Web 1.9999999…
    HAL 900: Web 2.001
    Specsavers: Web 2828 2.0

    Oh. It’s late. I’m not funny.
