Twitter, or "Randomly Bragging About Your Unexceptional Life."

By
Catharine P. Taylor
(MoneyWatch)  To close out the week, thought I'd post this dead-on animated sketch about Twitter from Current TV. It's caught on this week, to say the least. When I first streamed it on YouTube on Monday, it had about 350,000 views. Now it's just under a million. Best line: "It seems like Twittering is just randomly bragging about your unexceptional life." Yeah.

You might think that, after watching this, people would slack off on their Twitter habits out of sheer embarrassment, but if the number of times I saw the FAIL Whale this week is any indication, it actually had the opposite effect, particularly on me.

Speaking of which, don't forget to follow this blog at http://twitter.com/bnetmedia. Have a good weekend.
