    Honestly, I don't understand the necessity of people to document the minutiae of their lives. Nobody cares that you just ate a cheese and mustard sandwich, and now have gas. I came up with this little gem discussing twitter the other day:

    "What's in a name? that which we call a turd
    By any other name would smell as tweet."

    That about sums it up (with apologies to Willy the Shake, Romeo and his SO.)
