Web2.0 baby.

I figured I have a lot of material I don’t really use in the form of tweets. 1,832 of them.

When I started writing this blog post I wanted to gather a bunch of tweets and just call it The Best of Dushkin or something. Then I started looking at what those tweets actually contained.

Common themes include:

1. Being generally PO’d with the state of public transport/commuting:
   

   The automatic announcer that’s supposed to make up for the shortcomings of the Israeli train schedules didn’t go off and I missed a train.

1. Boring work related things that nobody who isn’t in my particular position would ever in their right mind understand or want to understand:
   

   The guy who did the friday shift didn’t trace right.

2. Playing (boring) games:
   

   I played some plants vs zombies. It was cool actually.

I began to wonder if that’s the future of my communication with the outside world will be conducted in 140 characters or less and be about terribly simple things like playing Plants vs. Zombies (update: it’s a good game).

So perhaps it won’t replace it completely, but I wonder just how many of these tweets could have been expanded upon and become fully fledged blog posts. Not that a blog post is much of a step up from a tweet, let’s face it.

So I promise I’ll write more meaningful things, more often.
