Whilst perusing my stats yesterday — blog stats, Ed! — I noticed in the referrers column I had 8 referrals from twitter.
8.
That’s a lot for something I don’t think of as being a logical link to this site and since I already find it a bit unsettling to have my good name googled (and it is, along with “dirk + mancuso + nude pics,” so don’t try to deny it ’cause search engine terms don’t lie), this twittering thing was just another dollop of paranoia on the crazy cake for me.
In an effort to get the facts, I immediately clicked on the link only to be sent to the twitter log-in page. Fuck monkey!
With no payoff to my quest, I was left instead with only a litany of questions: How did this blog wind up on twitter? What was the subject matter that had people twittering? Who are the people twittering me? What’s going on? Am I being plagarized? Am I being scouted by low budget cable televison magnates and about to be offered my own big gay variety show on LOGO or E!? (hint hint) Can one of you twitter folks tell me what’s up?
(And before anyone asks — no, I’m not going to join twitter. I can barely get this daily shit-fest up from a regular computer.)





I think Twitter is a communist plot to overthrow the U S of A. It’s just a guess, though, since I don’t have a clue what it is or how it works. I just know that people I work with “tweet” all day long. Shouldn’t the act of using Twitter be called “twit?”

I don’t get Twitter. It’s essentially the “What’s on your mind” aspect of Facebook. Something I swore I would never join but did and now I’m addicted.
Lord help me.

What? As if I wouldn’t want to peruse your stats? I don’t twitter or tweet or twitcheep either. It seems a bit nosy. Like what are you doing? I’m spanking the monkey okay? happy now? Now what are you doing? I’m wiping my ass after taking a dump. Get a life people, go back to blogging where the action is.

Simple. Someone tweeted about your blog and included a link. Calm down.
