Twitter: It’s Like You’re All Hanging Out In My Living Room
You Twitter haters can say what you want about it, but it surely is helping fulfill the early promise of the web to make the world smaller.
Yesterday, I asked (via Twitter) about everyone’s favorite Mexican food appetizer, as I was making chicken enchiladas for Buffy night and wanted input on what to serve with that. Within 10 minutes, I had nearly 15 replies. The verdict? Chips and salsa are big favorites, as is guacamole, queso, and the traditional appetizer, everyone’s favorite: tequila. (So, of course, I had to make them all. Well, I didn’t actually make tequila. I didn’t have any agave plants handy.)
Speaking of Twitter’s usefulness, I also learned that today that Britney Spears lost custody of her kids. If not for Twitter, I would have such more limited knowledge about the world around me.

The fact that you had to actually twitter because you needed advice on what appetizer to serve with enchiladas had me ROFL, it doesn’t take 15 people to tell you 1 1=2.
Yes, I was expecting pictures, and no, I’ll never visit this blog again.
