My boyfriend utters 'are you doing that twit thing again!?' when I have the crackberry out. But he doesn't complain when I share the real-time news tweets, critiques of the debates, great witticisms from those I follow, or especially - the latest on his sports teams.

That is, I read it out loud to my wife who is clicking away on her Macbook doing the one thing I can never understand...compulsively Craigslisting. Now sure - I love me some Craigslist - don't get me wrong...but she could spend DAYS searching for that perfect vintage table, or antique armoire, or whatever she thinks is hidden 20 pages deep in the black-hole that is Craigslist. I don't foresee Twitter or Craigslist dividing our otherwise happy home...but if I don't start putting down my iPhone every once in while, that may be another story. Anyway, off to play some more Super Monkey Ball on my iPhone. Kel,

She (and her friends who do not use Twitter) do not understand why my FB "updates" don't start with the word "is". It should say "Andrew is....." they say. That is not how it works. I don't need to be "is"-ing anything, just randomly spewing stuff. That is what makes Twitter so fun... I am a perfect example of a husband whose wife does not get Twitter.

This probably seems like heresy coming from me - especially since I'm such a new convert. But, I can already relate to dating a non-twitterer....or should I just call him a "twit"? Before you call me harsh, you should hear what he calls me when he sees me, head down, with PDA in hand. Bravo Kel,
