So I broke my foot.

I’m on a roll here: Heartbreak last week and foot-snafu this week. 

What ever could be next?

My Rev A Macbook Pro will arrive soon and so I expect I will have a broken churned-out-of-Shanghai-too-soon computer.

I’m as bad off as Yahoo, mewling and crawling back to Microsoft. Yahoo now needs to be bought by them after failing to close on any other offers. And me? I’ve taken for granted how well my heart and feet have served me thus far. Now I long for immediate rejuvenation.

What a pathetic pair we make.

Socialnets to the rescue!

The socialnets will save Yahoo because they get social networking. Yahoo acquired Delicious and improved Flickr. Microsoft is starved for that kind of relevance.

The Twitter Age rescued me. My first Tweet-to-Meat friend bandaged me up and bolstered my faith in humanity. My Twitter high will last at least until my new computer arrives.

Now I finally have an answer to the age-old question: What is Twitter for?

It is for broken feet, broken hearts and all that is excessive and hopeful in the world.
