This must be the fun part about being a teacher – the ludicrous interaction with younger folks makes for great sound bites, or transcripts as it were. Below, a text message exchange between me and a younger one.
HER: Get a twitter
ME: U mean a twitter account? I’ve been trying not to.
HER: Why? I’m bouta delete my fcbk. I hate it. It took me 10 min to figure out how to log off.
ME: Oh no! I’ve heard that more ppl r opting out of fb in favor of twitter.
HER: Yea cause it’s simple. And fun. All u do is tweet in reply to someone or tweet about something stupid u saw or heard. Or anything really. And u could feel closer to celebrities because they really be on there.
ME: That’s what’s missing from my life! Feeling closer to celebrities!
HER: Haha. And being close to me.
ME: That’s a better reason. U should have led with that one.
*I’ve seen facebook abbreviated as “fb” but never “fcbk” – until now. I think I know why.

"Fcbk" everyone who doesn't Tweet on Twitter or something...
Twitter keeps my attention for .08 seconds.
At least Facebook is full of pictures. Of people I don't know. Drinking heavily.
twitter is just a way for you to write into nothing and no-one, so impersonal.
