Polyglot Incarnate

I’m tempted to reblog my own post about problems with Twitter, but uh, I think the humor, sarcasm and satire was lost on many of you, and would be lost yet again. And most likely most of you wouldn’t read it, or the quarter who did would just get offended. Not to mention it’d probably be dishonest of me to double count one post. 

So, something else. Oh, perhaps I should apologize for retweeting bucket loads of links to stuff about China. Some of you may refer to this as spamming, but I call it filing. I can pull up a page on Twitter that just has stuff I’ve retweeted. So, there will be no end to this retweeting pattern. Sorry to those of you who call it spam. It’s all in the name of getting an A on the research paper. I’m sure you understand.

So far I haven’t said anything substantial on anything under the umbrella of social media. But here’s the point where really my post title really turns into a lie: Did you hear about the guy who got a full-ride because of a Twitter post? I personally think that too many people will start worshiping Twitter and its usefulness, using this as sufficient evidence. Which I find it is not. I find it ridiculous that 140 characters can buy a college education: I think it is a sad comment on our society when merit comes from just 140 characters.
