Recently I’ve been tweeting a lot more than I’ve been blogging.
It literally takes five seconds to post an update on Twitter, and therefore requires less of my thoughts to convert themselves to English. This leaves me more time to think of things to write for my 10-page Spanish literature paper, my 5-page history of Islam paper, and my page art paper, all due next week. The last two won’t be that difficult to crank out (I just have to start them first).
But anyways, what happens when you can’t tweet? What happens when you go to post something and a page comes up with a cute little drawing of an ice cream cone saying, “It’s cool, I can chill.”
What does that mean? It means “Twitter is currently down for maintenance.”
They said they’ll be back in about an hour. But what will the hundreds of thousands of tweeters do for an hour if they can’t tweet? There were 1,990,844 updates to Twitter yesterday alone, according to TweetRush.
So I guess those (like me) who can’t tweet right now will blog.
What I originally wanted to tweet was that my host sister is watching Hannah Montana in the other room, voiced over in Spanish. I recognized Billy Ray Cyrus’s voiceover as soon as she turned it on and knew she was watching Hannah Montana. Thought it was comical that Billy Ray Cyrus has a Spanish voiceover. Thought is was more comical that I can now recognize it.
Had I been able to tweet that, it would have been less than 140 characters.
Because it certainly is more fun to read in brief than to read as a blog post.
P.S. Thanks, Twitter, for forcing me to update my blog
