Wow.. people like you and me that remember the BBS days are far and few between now. I used to run an 8 line BBS out of my bedroom in the late 80's/early 90's called Ace's Place BBS. Lots of fun. Trade Wars anyone?
Twitter is LAME, just a revamped ICQ.. but then again, so is all the other crap out there like Myspace and Facebook.. how soon everyone forgets the "Geocities" days.. 5 years later, someone makes a new Geocities, calls it Myspace, and all of the sudden what people used to laugh at and make fun of people about is now considered "cool and nice looking".
I swear, at times I feel like the Mike Judge movie "Idiocracy" is more of a Documentary of humanity before its time rather than a comedy.
