IT’S TWIT OR TWEET TIME AS THE WORLD IS CONSUMED BY FADDISH DIGITAL INANITY

April 19th 2009 06:27

Some call it tweeter, some call it twitter, some say people who tweeter are twitters, but one thing is starkly obvious, the entire twitter or tweeter world is teetering on the edge of digital inanity, a fad that outranks the yoyo and the hula hoop.

Last week saw breathless coverage of the Tweeter race between actor Ashton Kutcher and CNN.
On the Jay Leno show failed presidential candidate John McCain confides that he too now twitters, or tweets, every gosh-darn morning.
And now a press release states that “April looks set to be the month that Twitter went mainstream in Sydney."

Starting from Tuesday, Australian twitter users will, according to the press release, "be able to immerse themselves in what amounts to Sydney’s seven days of social media."
Sydney twitterarti are invited to gather on Bondi Beach on Tuesday morning for a breakfast discussion on social media being organised as a PR stunt for Hilton Hotels.
Using the hashtag #beachmeet, PR agency Mark Communications is organising the event which will see the live meeting going on at the beach, with Tweets from the event going out to the online audience. The beach is being given wireless broadband for the session.
Among the twitterers will be adman Siimon Reynolds; David Penberthy, who is about to launch News Ltd’s new online venture, The Punch; and gossip columnist Ros Reines.
