This just in: Twitter still sucks

Puppy! - Joel on Software:

Thanks for all the great articles Joel, and thanks for this jem:

"Although I appreciate that many people find Twitter to be valuable, I find it a truly awful way to exchange thoughts and ideas. It creates a mentally stunted world in which the most complicated thought you can think is one sentence long. It’s a cacophony of people shouting their thoughts into the abyss without listening to what anyone else is saying. Logging on gives you a page full of little hand grenades: impossible-to-understand, context-free sentences that take five minutes of research to unravel and which then turn out to be stupid, irrelevant, or pertaining to the television series Battlestar Galactica. I would write an essay describing why Twitter gives me a headache and makes me fear for the future of humanity, but it doesn’t deserve more than 140 characters of explanation, and I’ve already spent 820."

You'll need to have Google Earth installed, along with a plugin, in order to see the maps, which are impressive. The asteroid was 7.45 miles wide and hit at 44,460 miles per hour, far in excess of the Mexican speed limit.

Even though I blog, I have to say I appreciate this guy's perspective quite a bit. There really is a lot of garbage out there, and what I generate is probably no exception.
