What Would Lon Wagner's Twitter Look Like?
If he had time
It would look like this: Twelve hours ago: Called wife on way home. Wondered if I should pick something up for dinner.
Eleven hours, 59 and a half minutes ago: Listened to wife's cell ring and ring and ring.
Eleven hours, 59 minutes ago: Didn't feel like hearing voicemail woman explain calling options, hung up.
Eleven hours, 30 minutes ago: Arrived home without incident.
Eleven hours, 29 minutes ago: Wife and three kids got home from mud-puddle-splashy walk.
Eleven hours, 28 and a half minutes ago: Wife asked where I had been. Told wife I had called, asked her why she didn't answer, even though it seemed obvious.

Blaine and BluD:
No fair making half a point. If you've got something to say, say it. Otherwise why are you here?

I'm definitely full of myself.
Because if I was full of somebody else,
I'd be a cannibal.
For the record, I'm with all you guys.

Re: What Would Lon Wagner's Twitter Look Like?
If you're giving me credit for a 1/2 a point, I'll take it. More than I usually manage. My real point is this...this piece is too much in the mold of all those other knee-jerk dismissals by old school print guys of any new medium that's different. We read the same stuff about blogging and citizen journalism (define it as you wish) and cell phone video and Flickr photos and text messages that dared to rub elbows with traditional news pieces on MSM Web sites. My argument with this piece is that 1) it's not funny 2) It might have been 6-12 months ago or any time before Twitter became a mainstream phenomenon 3) it represents a cheap and easy and fundamentally wrong take on the service. 4) all of which could be forgiven if it weren't for #1.
