Philip Linden's Twitter Updates

The Twitter-verse has not fully embraced Second Life's sandy-haired former CEO, Philip "Philip Linden" Rosedale, and frankly that makes me as angry as a podcaster on Zindra.

How is it possible that our fair-haired golden boy, the Apollo -- nay, Prometheus -- of virtual worlds, with his pop idol looks and Web 2.0 lifestyle, has a mere 1,000 followers?

How is it possible that Mitch "mkapor" Kapor, with his drab avatar and somniferous Tweet-stream about metanomics and 'socially responsible engineering', has amassed a massive army of 11,000+ devotees? Argh! Go build a bridge out of teddy bears, Yawn-Boy!

Confronting this injustice, I point the Bat-finger of blame squarely on you, the SL Twitter users! But I am sure you will immediately correct your mistake, once you have been exposed to Philip's pithy observations and charmingly disarming insights about life in and out of the Lab.

To aid you in your penance, I have created a screen-capture. Click it for detail:

Romance 2.0

I first saw her facebook on twitter,

I gave her a yelp and a plurk.
She joined my family on flickr,
We started im-ing at work.

I confessed I wanted to blogger,
She tweeted my ning with movable type;
I pinged her xbox until she shoutcast,
We burned up a feed on skype.

The third day we were married in warcraft,
Epic wedding: orcish man, elven wife;
The fourth day she caught me cheating
with a catgirl in second life.


Now myspace is a deleted entry,
Where my wikipedia used to be.

No matter how much you google it,
there's no such thing as eharmony!

Twitter-twat!

I think my twitter has tweeted its last. For those of you who don't know, Twitter is this thing where you do an update to quickly let all your friends and stalkers know when you are going potty.

You can even update from your mobile phone with a short text message: "Sitting in traffic, stuck behind another Twitter-related accident."

For me however, it is an experiment that has failed after one day. Even I don't care that I am sitting here editing photos to post, making this post, all while standing in-game looking at kawaii uniforms and gothy dresses.

And even when I am only doing one thing at a time, I can't imagine anybody would even care enough to constantly refresh twitter.com/kanomi just to read:

I am going to the kitchen.
I am opening a bottle of wine.
I am being reamed in the ass by a Bigfoot in a garter belt.

So say goodbye to the Twitter widget on this blog! Maybe I'll bring it back if I actually *get to know* some other SL twits, but right now it is about as useful as Second Life sandwich shop.
