I cannot help but feel confirmed that tweeting is for the insipid, after reading about the crowds around the world who texted-while-watching during the live Oscars program. There was much ado about nothing as thousands of users sent broken stream-of-consciousness reactions over the internet instead of focusing their attention and thoughts on the live event. We are told what people thought, but not why they formed their opinion. We are given a slice of “insider” gossip but no background on why it would be of interest. And, we are meant to understand that a variant spelling of a nominee’s name is noteworthy and of more interest than the movie with which it was associated. Twittering is a great study on the fractured and highly idiosyncratic nature of the inner thought processes of the brain. But, it is of very little interest to those outside of the texting community itself. The Oscar events were riveting. The thousands of uninformed and un-informing thoughts about those Oscar events were not.
