“I love that he doesn’t include an example. It’s apparently funny enough for us to know that Somalian pirate jokes are out there somewhere. If I know Carlos, the joke starts with lots of people tragically dying from pirate crime, and then he moves on to them being idiots. “Hellllooo!? If the innocent don’t like being raped, maybe they should stop sailing their ass up to PIRAAAATES!!! Oh, are you a pirate? Well then I should turn the fuck around! You won’t ever see Mexicans getting attacked by pirates! Because you get your feet cut off trying to carjack a lawnmoweI’M A RACIST!!!””

This is disgusting but it had to happen

So you may recall from the previous posts where I HATE TWITTER. Mostly because of the shit that is on there is all garbage. But here’s what’s happening; through the magic of programming all of the posts on BumPaddler are now getting pushed over to Twitter in order for two things to happen: 1) more link visibility on the internet for search pages to grab and index which drives more traffic to the site, and 2) so that the people that are addicted to twitter and like bumpaddler can follow the posts much like other people do via RSS. So. There it is. I’m almost ashamed to do it but if it means more people’s lives will be improved by the bumpaddler content via twitter, well then I can lower my standards for this one thing and provide you with twitter posts. Bear in mind that I will never actually be ON twitter posting things by hand – the plugin just pushes the blog posts over to twitter and makes them available. So that’s that. I can’t talk about it anymore or I’m going to have to hit myself in the head with a hammer. By the way, the twitter URL for you to follow is http://twitter.com/bumpaddler

fuck off twitter

On the evils of Twitter

I will rest easy tonight knowing that there is an evangelist out there that shares my dislike for the twittering public. Not only that, but he’s some smart professor guy from some big college. Read the whole post here: http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2009/04/twitter_is_evil.php

“James Hrynyshyn is completely missing the point. He has a post up where he tendentiously explains why twitter is evil, as if it should be a surprise. Why is the Pope Catholic? Why is the darkness dark? Why does Microsoft suck? These aren’t interesting questions: the point is that they are. I have a Twitter account. I do not have a “My Little Pony” account. Think about it. Isn’t it quite probable that I would leap into this technology precisely because it has great potential for evil? Be seduced, and embrace the evil. It’s fun!”

Yet more on Google + Twitter

Please don’t let it be so! Apparently, people in the know are saying that Google would want Twitter because of their new real-time tweet search engine that was recently released. Seems like a bad reason to spend upwards of $250 million.

“The engine now makes it possible for users to search for keywords and phrases used by people they follow on the site, and the ability to “save” search results. Experts say the search engine poses a threat to Google’s dominance in traditional Web search and is appealing due to the potential for a real-time search, where a user could get a sense of what is being said about a particular topic instantly. Google’s Web crawlers work very fast, but lag behind real time by at least several minutes.”

Someone thinks Google wants to buy Twitter

I don’t know why they would want to do that. I’d prefer that they buy them out and then destroy the codebase, burn the servers, and let everyone cry their microblogging eyes out. Anyway, full non-story right here.

“While the original story asserts with fairly firm authority that a deal is as good as done — “We don’t know the price but can assume it’s well, well north of the $250 million valuation that [Twitter] saw in [its] recent funding,” TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington states — Swisher tells a drastically different tale. In actuality, her report indicates, Google and Twitter have been holding only “product-related discussions” about search-related issues. “It was very preliminary … and that was that,” one of her sources says.”

We don’t need more twits messing with our tweets.

Seriously, don’t think about all of the outages they’ve had in the last year. Why? Because they have just been added to the emergency response network. Why? Because people are just not thinking clearly.

““Twitter is not just about what you had for lunch any more,” said a FEMA spokesperson. “It’s about choking on what you had for lunch and being able to call for help — even when you can no longer speak.”” – click for more.

Hate Twitter but don’t hate Christopher Walken

There is nothing good about Twitter. Nothing. It’s a waste of time, computing resources, energy, keyboard typing, brain waves, and breath. I’m boring myself just thinking about how much I don’t like Twitter. However, it seems that Christopher Walken was just banned from writing on there. So he was cracking me up and now he’s not. You know why? Because Twitter is full of morons! Way to go assholes, you ruined the only good thing about your piece of shit site.

“The Pope is in Africa “reaffirming the ban on condom use.” His old stuff was funnier. I don’t get this new material. Too edgy for my taste.” – cwalken
