What do you say when your peers say they don’t “get” Twitter. I often hear, “I don’t need to know what everybody had for breakfast.” I need to develop a boilerplate answer to this question so I can explain what it is that I do.

“Twitter’s just another tool. People are going to abuse it. Just like they turned print into junk mail, e-mail into spam, FaceBook into an exercise in self-involvement, TV into reality TV, and movies into Ishtar.”

“You telling me you LIKE Twitter?” he said.

“No, I like martinis. I like lamb chops. I like good red wine. I use Twitter, like I use e-mail or my Web site or my blog or a good print publication. I accept it for what it is, live with its flaws, and try to get the most I can out of it. Just like anything else.”

— You can hate the twits … but don’t hate the tools!

The story of the Jena 6 was an extreme example of what can happen when a justice system biased against black boys operates unchecked. But it’s also an example of what can happen when hundreds of thousands of people across the country stand up to challenge unequal justice. Together, we drew the country’s attention to this case and raised the money necessary to fund a strong legal defense.

So annoying when ppl refuse to try Twitter bc they “don’t care what people had for breakfast.” V difficult to explain what they’re missing.
