Twitter, so far, is the epitome of self-absorbed shallow behavior.
I say "so far," because surely there will be something else just around the corner that will top this.
I've written a rant about Blackberry users, which basically goes like this:
* * *
The only thing worse than the Blackberry and its ilk are those who own them. You can't hold an intelligent conversation, because they're mesmerized by this thing. It beeps, buzzes and yelps, begging for their attention.
While you try to explain the intricacies of something that might save their life, they're playing with this damn thing. It makes you want to reach out and slap it out of their hands.
They can't put it down for more than a few seconds at a time. They're scrolling, tapping, playing with it constantly. I would expect that it gets more attention than their spouse, child or pet ... and possibly their job.
Surely, their life is more important than mine, because I can barely hold their attention. I yearn for the time when it wasn't necessary to have a phone attached to your ear, or worse yet, a Bluetooth device hanging from the side of your head like a Borg. By the way, look in the mirror some time and see how stupid you look.

Basically, it's something like that.
