Leonard Pitts, a reporter for the Miami Herald, writes an article called
I won't Twitter my life away, in which he completely misses the point and successfully comes off as an old fart who is running out of stuff to complain about. The article itself is... painful to read, but
here it is if you want to read it.
The real gold, however, is in the comments.
I doubt you will take the time to read this Mr. Pitts, because obviously you don't care enough to understand social equity.
Up until an hour ago I did not know you existed. I did not know that you were an author, had a web site, and had been alive enough years to be too stubborn to learn new things.
You see, up until an hour ago, there wasn't a link to your article on Twitter. There is a point in every person's life when they realize they have turned the corner and are now "old" and irrelevant. Mr. Pitts, I believe that time has come for you. You're too stubborn to try new things yet arrogant enough to write about it.

Of course this is now being tweeted and re-tweeted all over, and surely enough, I heard about it in
Decor 8's Holly's Twitter feed. I may not tweet a lot, but I love following creative people's feeds (my friends are not into it, and we IM via MSN mostly), and I try to never miss the #sf_d parties (woot!). Shame on you, Leonard.
