Twits on Twitter 0

Phil Sheridan is writing about a football game. His words have wider application:

The technology (Twitter–ed.) at work here is the product of genius. Unfortunately, it can be used to expose complete idiocy.

I wonder about the “genius” part.

Twitter is the pet rock of communications technology.

Facebook is its Cabbage Patch Kid.

(All that guff about “Twitter Revolutions” says more about media’s masturbatory fascination with gadgets than it does about Real Life.)

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
