This almost makes me want to buy Grand Theft Auto V: the in-game version of Twitter called Bleeter. Here’s the description:
Information isn’t about imparting knowledge anymore. The Internet changed all that.
Welcome to world of self aggrandizing shorthand. Keep strangers and people you hated in high school up to speed with every mundane detail of your life 24/7. Welcome the the delusion of having an interesting life and friends.
Bleeter is the perfect storm of blogging, social networking and text messaging. We’re demolishing 100,000 years of complex linguistic development 140 characters at a time.
Sometimes parody really does offer a way to speak the truth.
