So i’m leaving Facebook to join Twitter.com, the new “hip” version of Facebook which asks for less and apparently gives me more….”information about what my friends are doing at every moment of every day”, that is.

Excellent. I feel so much better for knowing that friends are procrastinating, avoiding work, are unemployed or surfing the web from their toilet! Yipee.

However, there is one problem which will ensure that Facebook continues to dominate the cyber-social networking world, dictated by its name. I can imagine one day there will be a verb: to facebook. However, consider the alternative-

Verb infinitive: to twit
Present continuous: twitting
Past participle: twat
Any past tense conjugation: twat

They’ve not thought about this have they?
