I've been trying to hunt down a twitterpost that is up to date here on windows 7 forums, but I can't find any. So here it goes!
Post your twitter here! Always fun with some new people to follow. Especially people that have small things in common, like windows 7. :)

So just so we're clear, Twitter is just a short blog correct? I have not bothered with it yet... or blogging at all. Just don't want to be ignorant!
Twitter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is also something with a slightly annoying name.
All this stuff gets more and more like George Orwell's Newspeak in his classic novel 1984.
For the more "Literary challenged" people this was a book depicting a completely totalitarian state where History was continually being re-wriiten and standard english was being whittled down piece by piece until eventually the only vocabulary would be "Party Slogans". (remind people of the current "NU-LABOUR" government in the UK at the moment -- although politicians world wide seem to be just as bad if not even worse).
The whole idea of reading TEXT (I HATE bad spelling / grammar etc etc) and this abomination called twitter makes me want to vomit.
What's wrong in using language PROPERLY -- why does everything have to be split up into nibble size pieces.
Leave twittering to "our feathered friends".
Cheers

At least Newspeak made a lot more sense
I can understand the usage of abbreviations in texting, as it is a lot more expedient on a mobile phone (don't like it, but can understand it). But when you have a keyboard, there really is no excuse.
The adoption of incorrect spelling as 'cool' is another particularly annoying trend. It takes me 3 times as long to decipher what I'm reading and I'm unsure whether these people are actually uneducated or just following a trend.
Iz teh FAIL
+1 Being an old fart, I have a heck of a time trying to figure out what some of them are saying. Often just move on rather than bother.
