August 23, 2011Twitter Town Hall: President, Too, Is Confined To 140 Characters
July 7, 2011“I do solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I will faithfully execute the office
of President of the United States, and will,
to the best of my ability,
preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution of the United States …
and Tweet with the blabbbing public,
within 140 characters, of course.
White House Woot!”
Many social media “experts” and political journalists reported and (over)analyzed President Obama’s first Twitter Town Hall yesterday. If you missed it, you can check out the Town Hall’s Twitter page or read the full Town Hall transcript.
Obviously, the 140 character limit speaks volumes about our techno world, how we now (generally speaking) do not read anything more than a headline, let alone a full article or a full book.
Does the 140 character limit bother you? Are you troubled by future generations (let alone the younger generations now) who will grow up interacting and expressing themselves within such limited confines? Should expression be controlled like this?

So, apparently, now we’re taking photos of ourselves, sharing them on the Internet and, believe it or not, actually asking/encouraging total strangers to critique us online and blabbb about what we’re wearing?

We noticed this at our own last high school reunion: Attendance at high school/college reunions is apparently declining at an alarming rate. What’s the answer to such a “trend?” Apparently the only answer is to promote real personal connections. [Editor/Blogger’s Sarcastic Note: What a concept!]

Trying to figure out what to name your child? Well, we hate to break this to you, but “Facebook” and “Like” are already taken. Literally.

First, “E-mail” became “email.” And now, well, “Web site” has officially become “website” … and there are many more new AP rules that most people will never follow (except us at Blabbb, that is). 😉
What do “you” (not “u”) think, Blabbbers? …

Here’s an amazing recent New York Times article about how we no longer talk on the phone with one another. A big “wink” to the lovely Lia for blabbbing about this article in the comment section of our first post! Thanks, Lia! 😉
We also stumbled upon a really interesting concept that is being tossed around as a potential “game show,” where friends compete Russian-roulette style and the loser has his/her Facebook account deleted.
Do you have conversations on the phone anymore? Would you risk deleting your Facebook account for the chance to win a free, fully-paid vacation? Let us know what “you” (not “u”) think, Blabbbers …
