If you love Twitter, this might strike you as funny

In the entertainly grumpy curmudgeon corner we have John Handelaar recounting his experience with this new fangled fad that is Twitter (via Eirepreneur)
- You can manually post a message on its website and then hang around and make coffee for everyone while a rather tedious lottery plays out — will it post after stalling for several minutes, or will it simply cause a browser timeout? I can hardly wait to find out. Oh the excitement.
- You can send a text message to a fourteen-digit international mobile number in the UK and pay the highest data packet transfer rates available anywhere on the planet. And then Twitter will either dump your message into the ether or post it at some point convenient to itself at some unspecified point in the next 72 hours. So just like instant messaging, then, except at telegram-delivery-boy speeds not seen since the end of the 19th century. Feel the future….(Full post : Now, what rhymes with Twit, then? or Everything you like is stupid)
