I would like to register my disppointment.  Twitter isn't anywhere near as amusing.  I hope it goes bust and you all come crawling back to the Shoutbox with your tails between your legs.

You pay more than that for your urologist every year.

I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

The point about Twitter is a) not everybody's from the Shoutbox is on there, b) it lacks the same immediacy and isn't really suited to group discussions, and c) there are real people on there from our actual lives so we can't have... erm... the type of conversations... that we sometimes have in the Shoutbox.  I think you know what I'm saying.

In conclusion: Twitter is a cunt.

I never understood what was happening in the shoutbox, so I never really went there. It felt like it was moving too fast and it was always in the middle of a conversation that confused me so I'd check it out for about 30 seconds and leave. The last time I remember actually talking in it was during the 2008 All-Star game... and that was on Kerm's site I think.

I don't know what my point is, but Twitter is OK I guess. Maybe it's all dumb. But not as dumb as Facebook.

20 whole bucks? Enjoy your two Starbucks coffees seven Dunkin Donuts coffees with your blood money.

In other words, everyone loves the Shoutbox, but it ain't $20 worth of love.
