Twittering In A Happy Place

We’ve tried several times now to ignore/ swear off Twitter, but for whatever reason our fearless leader (Nancy, not Sic) keeps making us go back.

And while we know a lot of S.C. politicos swear by it, the truth is Twitter does absolutely nothing for us.

It’s like a daily snapshot of America’s attention deficit disorder – an avalanche of “who cares” crammed into a bunch of 140-character crack rants.

Seriously, we’re supposed to convey something coherent in 140 characters or less? Including spaces?

Not gonna happen.

We can’t even talk dirty to all the hot lobbyists over at the State House in that amount of space.

Then there’s the whole “Tiny URL” thing … which just screams inadequacy, and compels us to remind people that their URL’s may be tiny, but Sic’s is large and in charge.

On top of that is Twitter’s annoying “@replies,” which we found out the hard way means that people are communicating with you directly – or trying to – but in a way that is somehow different from sending you “direct messages.”

Again … we don’t get it.

Of course Palmetto “reporters” like Wes Wolfe and Jason “T.” Spencer (hippie, above), practically live on the website, and both of them have “tweeted” us several times regarding our coverage … usually to say something annoying about it.

We know Wolfe fairly well, and although his website is clearly a tool of the legislative establishment we think he’s a decent enough guy.

But Spencer?

We’ve never heard of him until now.

Although we must say from his Twitter picture he appears to be in a happy place – perhaps with some mushrooms growing nearby?

As Sic likes to say, “have a nice day, rosy cheeks …”

Update – So, you all tell us who this Spencer cat is … is he a decent reporter in the Bob Dalton mold? Or a bleeding heart liberal goober like Baker Maultsby, destined to wax annoying on websites like this one forever and ever?
